Cruzeiro vs Botafogo Prediction 6 August 2017
On august 6 2017 at 20:00 in the forthcoming match of the 19 matchday of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A at the Mineirao Stadium the local Cruzeiro are going to play against Botafogo.
In the previous season Cruzeiro met Vasco da Gama. In fact, Vasco da Gama are rather good at home and Coritiba aren’t in their best conditions, the victory they got 0:3 at the domestic stadium of Vasco da Gama was an actual achievement for them. We must also admit that the upcoming game will be the 9th home one for them in the current season. Before that Cruzeiro won 4 times drew 3 times and lost once with 12:7 goal difference.
As for Botafogo, they aren’t in their best conditions either. In the latest match they met Palmeiras at their domestic stadium. The teams looked rather equal until the 86th minute of the match. Yet, the great skills of the forward Deiverson let the guests get their three points in that game. That loss was the second one in a row for Botafogo and the 6th one in their 18 games played this season.
The results of the previous games played between the teams show the advantage of Cruzeiro as they won four of the latest five matches played against Botafogo. Cruzeiro haven’t lost for three matches in a row already while Botafogo lost their latest two home games in a row which probably makes them feel rather unconfident now. Anyway, it seems to us that the hosts are more likely to win in the upcoming match.
