Why Bet on Internacional?
Internacional was a great disappointment this season. The big bet was the Copa Libertadores, and they lost in the semifinals to Fluminense, while in the Brasileirão, they could not compete on equal terms.
In the previous presentation, they beat Corinthians 2-1, thanks to goals by Mauricio and Wanderson, while the ‘Timao’ celebrated through the Paraguayan creative midfielder Ángel Romero.
This victory allowed the ‘Colorado’ to be ninth with 52 points, with no chance of playing in the 2024 Libertadores. The team coached by the Argentine Eduardo Coudet will have to be satisfied with being in the Sudamericana next year.
The problem for the Porto Alegre team was the balance, as they scored 43 goals and allowed 44, with a goal difference of -1. Not even the Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia, with his eight goals in half a season, could help his teammates to improve in the table.
At home, Inter played 18 matches, winning eight times, drawing, and losing on five occasions. They took 29 points out of a possible 54, a number that could have been better.
Midfielder Pedro Henrique will return from his yellow card suspension, while Matheus Dias, Romulo, and Vitao are injured.
Why Bet on Botafogo?
Botafogo was the protagonist of one of the biggest embarrassments in soccer, as it was the leader for 31 matchdays and lost a 16-point lead. With one matchday to go, they can no longer be champions of Brazilian soccer because they are five points behind Palmeiras.
In the last match, they drew 0-0 with Cruzeiro, leaving them with 64 points and not even directly qualified for the next Copa Libertadores, since Grêmio also overtook them on the penultimate matchday.
The ‘Fogao’ have now gone ten games without a win and have drawn five in a row, conceding goals in the last 11 matches. Despite the changes of coach, there was no way to lift a team that ran out of batteries and showed no rebelliousness.
And one of the reasons for this team’s inability to keep up the pace is that Tiquinho Soares has dropped his level. He scored only two goals in the last ten matches. His 17 goals were important, but they were a long way off.
Carlos Eduardo will be able to return from his red card suspension. The injured are Marçal, Patrick de Paula, Mateo Ponte, and Rafael.
