Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this match will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Botafogo and Flamengo have seldom been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in Serie A individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a strong favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.25.
