Internacional vs Botafogo Prediction: Botafogo hasn't won in ten games

Internacional qualified for the Copa Sudamericana after three consecutive wins in the Série A. The team is in ninth place and is finishing its season playing well. As for Botafogo, in the last round, it drew 0-0 at home to Cruzeiro and extended its streak to ten games without a win. It's an absolutely heartbreaking end for the Cariocas, who led the Brasileirão for most of the season but have lost belief in their abilities.

The Colorado beat Corinthians 2-1 at the Neo Química Arena to record its third win in a row, its second on the road. When Internacional hosts Botafogo, it will want to take control of the match, aware of its opponents' psychological fragility. The Glorioso looks like easy prey at the moment, especially for a team like Inter, which is going through a good run of form. The Gaúchos will be looking to maintain its ninth-place position, as eighth place, occupied by Athletico-PR, is impossible to reach.

The Lone Star is incredibly in fifth place. With one round to go, the Cariocas have lost their position in the top four, which gives them access to the Copa Libertadores group stage. A few weeks ago the Glorioso was the leader, but in football, things can change very quickly. Botafogo must win if it wants to overtake Grêmio in fourth place, which is one point behind. A draw is not enough for Botafogo due to the Gaúchos' greater number of wins. The team is psychologically destroyed, but you never know what might happen.

Inter is in much better form than its opponents. The fact that the home team is more relaxed can be an advantage and disadvantage. If the Gaúchos want to win, they have to be focused. Botafogo needs a win to finish in fourth place, but the mood isn't the best. I'm leaning towards a home win.
