SAO Paulo vs Botafogo Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa Libertadores
by Joseph King in Copa Libertadores Predictions
São Paulo and Botafogo lock horns in the return leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-final on Wednesday night. Let’s break down this match and offer a prediction for this showdown between the Tricolor Paulista and Fogo.
A spot in the semi-final against either Peñarol or Flamengo is on the line here following a goalless draw in the first leg. São Paulo will be pleased with their performance in Rio, yet they were somewhat fortunate to walk away with a draw. They gave up three clear cut scoring chances which Botafogo failed to capitalize on.
São Paulo return to the Morumbi with a 3-1-0 home record in the Copa Libertadores and a 9-2-3 home record in the domestic league. They come into this match as slight favorites according to the bookmakers.
This could prove a challenging fixture for the hosts as they have managed only one win from their last six games. Last time out, the Tricolor Paulista fell to a 3-1 home defeat to Internacional, their second loss in a row on their home patch.
Botafogo are having a fantastic season as they lead the Brasileiro Serie A by three points with a 17-5-5 record. They also have a good shot at making it to the final four in the Copa Libertadores in their return to the competition after a seven-year absence.
They come into the return leg of this fixture riding an eight-match unbeaten run, five of which ended in victories for the Rio based club. Last time out, Fogo secured a 1-0 away victory over Fluminense in the Brazilian top flight, marking their third win in the last four games.
