Sao Paulo vs Botafogo Prediction 19 November 2017
On Sunday, November 19 2017 at 19:00 Sao Paulo are playing against their guests Botafogo at their Estadio Municipal Machado de Carvalho in the 36th game of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A.
Sao Paulo were traditionally considered to be the one of the strongest teams of the Brazilian championship and yet in the latest seasons they went own in the standings a lot. There are three games left to play in the Serie A and Sao Paulo have 45 points gained which leaves them on the 12th position in the table. The loss in the latest game to Gremio broke their winless series to make it five games long already. We must remind you that not long before that Sao Paulo drew twice and won three times.
As for Botafogo, they are traditionally strong in the current season. After 35 matches already played in this campaign Botafogo have 51 points with 43:38 goal difference. Yet, we should still admit that Botafogo were obviously not in their best conditions in the latest matches or maybe they weren’t motivated enough. The loss to Atletico Goianiense 1:2 in the latest match was actually a sensational one.
Sao Paulo have an advantage in the history of head-to-heads of the teams. In the first round game of the current season in the Serie A Sao Paulo also won 3:4. It seems to us that Sao Paulo will be the favorites of the upcoming match again. We should also remind you that Sao Paulo haven’t lost at home for eight games in a row already. That’s why it seems to us that the hosts are much more likely to win in the upcoming match.
