Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense vs Botafogo Prediction 9 July 2023

The highlight of the fourteenth round of Brasileirao will be the battle of the leading Gremio and Flamengo.

The relegation had a positive effect on Gremio, who in the first season after returning to the elite shows very high-quality football. Having beaten America Mineiro 3:1, Coritiba 5:1 and Bahia 2:1, the Blue-Blacks soared to the second position and earned 26 points with goal statistics of 24:18.

Botafogo, with 33 points and a 22:7 goal statistics, even leads the peloton, although a year earlier it was an unpretentious middle-tier side. In the previous five matches of the league season, the White-Blacks crushed Fortaleza 2:0, Cuiaba 1:0, Palmeiras 1:0 and Vasco da Gama 2:0, and before that there was a 0:1 loss from Atlético Paranaense.

As for us, due to competent actions in defense, Botafogo will muffle Gremio's attacking impulse a little and turn the game into a rather boring spectacle with a maximum of two effective shots.
