Form: L-D-D-L

The Roosters have been unfortunate in the first month of the Serie A, completing the first month alongside Bahia and Sao Paulo as teams without a registered win.

Mineiro got a hard knock from Santos last week, in the 2-0 full-time affair that saw them outwitted, outclassed, and outplayed from start to finish. The home bells however toll a little differently, with two stalemates against Sao Paulo (0-0) and Vitoria (2-2).

The defensive instructions may need a hard reset, seeing how sluggishness and ineptitude exposed them to two quick goals in succession. On the attack, their long-range shots did little to test the opposing goalkeeper. The strikers fumbled off numerous chances playing the ball into the safe hands of the goalkeeper instead of delivering a real challenge.

With only two points in the last four games, they sit currently at the table’s bottom, having scored three goals in four games and conceded six.

Since the forthcoming CONMEBOL Libertadores game is closely underway, it is speculated that Gabriel Milito, head coach of Mineiro will rest his key players ahead of the brawl, but all is mere local media gossip. The predicted lineup against Botafogo is:

Lineup: Rafael, A.Franco-Arboleda-Ferraresi, Wendell-Alisson-M.Antonio-C.Soares, Ferreira-M.Alves, J.Calleri.

⛔️ Out: Guilherme Arana (injured) Alan Franci (injured) Junior Santos (injured)

Head Coach: Cuca

Form: D-W-L-D

Fogao played excellently against Sao Paulo last week, forcing their opponents to a compromise in the eventual 2-2 outcome after coming from behind twice to deny the opponents three points.

Botafogo struggles with several factors to defend properly as their defense seems to be the weakest link in the team build-up play. The attacking also lacks spur, seeing how numerous close shaves could have registered as goals but were fumbled away.

At home, this will be their third appearance, and while they look toward protecting the integrity of their home turf, with a two-goal average per home game, they will have to be wary of over-exposing their last lines and overlapping at the flanks.

Botafogo looks to improve their league standing as a win here will catapult them towards the upper echelon of the table, where it gets unforgiving and brutal.

A few names on the Botafogo lineup were tremendously instrumental in the stalemate against Sao Paulo. They include Jesus and Savarino who kept the pressure on even in the late stages before eventually finding the back of the net.

Arthur and Freitas were also of tremendous input, with the former providing an assist for the second goal.

All three will feature in the game and as such give the fans a sense of relief going into this contest.

Starting XI: John, Cuiaba-Barboza-Jair-Vitinho, Friebas-Gregore, Martins-Savarino-Artur, L.Jesus

⛔️  Out: Bastos (injured)

Head Coach: Renato Paiva

The two sides have met forty-one times. While Botafogo has won eighteen times, Atletico Mineiro has seized victory fourteen times, leaving nine occasions where they shared spoils.

  • Atletico Mineirao has played two stalemates at home in two games. Bet on a stalemate with Bet365 at 3.40 odds;
  • Botafogo is yet to score on foreign turf this season. Bet on a goal for Botafogo at 1.55 odds from 1xbet;
  • Botafogo has either won or tied four recent home meetings with Atletico Mineirao. Pick the X2 option at 1.60 odds from Betway;
  • The last three league meetings at the Mineirao produced less than three goals. Consider the U2.5 goal option at 1.54 odds from 1xbet;
  • The 1-3 goal range has been quite recurrent in majority of their meetings. Bet365 tips 1.40 odds for this choice.

Botafogo plays better attacking football than Atlético Mineiro; but defends way worse. As much as it is expected that they score goals in this encounter, it is also likely that the hosts bring their A-game defensively. As such we struggle between the BTTS-NO, and a victory for the visitors as optimal predictions for this game. Additionally, we expect sudden rush after the initial blow of the whistle. An early corner wager sits right alongside our prior speculations.

+ Our initial prediction is BTTS-NO at 1.71 odds from Betway’s web page.

+ Our second prediction is a win for the visiting outfit at 3.42 odds from 1xBet.

+ Finally, our last option will be at least a corner kick in the first ten minutes at 1.60 odds from Bet365.
