Botafogo and Palmeiras are the leaders in the Brazilian championship, so the fight in this pair will be very hard.
Botafogo is now in an uncertain shape - the team is out of the Brazilian Cup, as well as defeats in the domestic championship. Palmeiras are in the same situation - a cup exit at the hands of Flamengo and a slump in Serie A.
There is no clear favourite, but we expect that there will be goals from both sides today, as Botafogo concedes very often now (8 goals in 5 matches), but we do not think that the hosts will leave the field without goals today.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 2.05
