Palmeiras vs Botafogo Prediction: Betting on a convincing win for the Greens

On Friday, the 10th round of Brazilian Serie A starts with a clash between Palmeiras and Botafogo. The Greens have an excellent opportunity to top the standings, but there is no doubt that the Lone Star will do everything in its power to prevent this.

Corinthians lost to Cuiaba and Atletico Mineiro lost to Fluminense, while Inter and Santos drew. It suggests that if they win on Friday, the Greens will move up to first place in the Brasileirao standings. Before Friday's pool, the club from Sao Paulo is in third place, two points behind leading Corinthians. Palmeiras drew 0:0 with Atletico Mineiro last round and had a six-match winning streak in three tournaments before that. Overall, the Greens have not lost in a very long time, with Palmeiras' home statistics only eighth in the division, +2=2-1, 8:4 goal difference.

After a confident win over Fortaleza, Botafogo drew 1:1 with America, lost 0:1 away to Coritiba and 1:2 to Goiás on home soil. Such results dropped the Lone Star to 13th place, which means Botafogo is currently out of the South American Cup zone. The visitors now have 12 points, one point less than Ceará, Bragantino, and Santos. Botafogo's away statistics are fifth in the division, +2=2-1, 6:4 goal difference.

Palmeiras has a good chance of topping the Brazilian league table, but they need to beat Botafogo on home soil. Considering their opponents' tone and the home team's motivation, there is little doubt that Palmeiras will be successful on Friday. As for the total, we hope the upcoming game will be pretty productive.
