Why Bet on Botafogo?
Botafogo continues to be one of the best teams of this 2024 Brasileirão season. They are currently second in the table with eight wins, three draws, and three defeats, with 23 goals scored and 14 conceded.
However, as we mentioned, they are equal on 27 points with Bahia and Palmeiras and only three behind Flamengo. So, this match is fundamental for their aspirations to be as high as possible in the standings.
Botafogo comes into this matchday after two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches, showing some inconsistency in their results. However, it is fair to mention that the team wins the important matches and there is no doubt that this is one of them.
Why Bet on Atlético Mineiro?
On the other hand, we have Atlético Mineiro, a team thatwas called to be a protagonist in this 2024 Brasileirão season, but they have not been able to display their best level of play so far.
At the time of writing, Atlético Mineiro is #11 in the standings, with a record of four wins, six draws, and three losses, with 20 goals scored and 20 conceded. While the team’s offense works, their defense needs to be much stronger if they want to avoid approaches from their rivals.
In addition, Atlético Mineiro needs to start a positive streak if they want to continue with hopes of fighting for the top of the table, as right now, the difference with Flamengo in the first place is 12 points.
In their last five matches, Atlético Mineiro accumulated one win, two draws, and two defeats, their most recent result being a defeat against Flamengo, with a terrible score of 2-4.
