Best Tip: Botafogo to win

A Serie A home win for Artur Jorge Torres Gomes Araújo Amorim's Botafogo team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should be too strong for their visitors. The odds from the bookies suggest the same, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Botafogo win is our recommendation, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
