Our Prediction
Considering Botafogo’s strong defensive record this season (32 goals conceded in 35 games) and Corinthians’ less prolific attack (38 goals scored in 35 games), coupled with the historical tendency for low-scoring matches between these two sides, especially when Corinthians hosts, a tight encounter is expected. Corinthians will rely on their home advantage, but Botafogo’s quest for a Libertadores spot provides ample motivation to keep things defensively sound.
