Prediction Botafogo vs Fluminense:

There are two teams that surprise me in my vision. Both Botafogo and Fluminense were poorly rated by all before the championship started.

Whether for lack of reinforcements or for experiencing a financial crisis, both set up their teams with difficulties and did not promise much.

But the beginning and especially the level demonstrated is higher than the projections. For this reason, I think Botafogo’s favoritism is exacerbated.

The Fluminense has done great game and I do not think that Engenhão should be considered a decisive factor to guide these odds. I think Fluminense will score points here.
