Why Bet on Athletico Paranaense?
It has not been a good start for Athletico Paranaense in the Brasileirão that with 4 wins and 4 losses, is in 11th place with 12 points, 11 goals for, and 11 against. They have 2 consecutive league defeats against Red Bull Bragantino (2-0) and Gremio (1-2), as well as losing to Atlético Mineiro (2-1) in the Copa Libertadores and precisely versus Botafogo this Wednesday in the Copa do Brasil (1-0), although they won on penalties after drawing 3-3 on aggregate.
Paulo Turra’s team wants to improve on what they achieved last year when they finished sixth. David Terans, who was the club’s top scorer last season with 12 goals, has yet to score his first in the league this year, although he hasn’t been used much either. The 18-year-old Vitor Roque is the team’s top scorer with 3 goals. However, it is necessary that the more experienced players also make their contribution.
At home, they have only lost 1 game, which was precisely in their last match against Gremio. The other 3 games have been victories versus Coritiba (3-2), Flamengo (2-1), and Goiás (2-0).
Why Bet on Botafogo?
The Botafogo tournament has been a great surprise for everyone. They are first with a great difference in points since they have 21 units while the second, Palmeiras, has 16. They have won 7 games and only lost 1, 2 weeks ago against Goiás (2-1), while also being the second team that has scored the most goals (16) and the one that has conceded the least (6).
Tiquinho Soares has found a second youth at 32 years of age and is the tournament’s top scorer with 6 goals, as well as being the top assister with 3. Without a doubt, the forward’s great moment has been key for the team to be where it is.
Botafogo has also had a great performance in the Copa Sudamericana, where they have won 2 games and drawn 2, being first in their group.
In the Copa do Brasil they just beat Paranaense 1-0, but they lost 4-2 on penalties after going 3-3 on aggregate and were eliminated. Tiquinho Soares scored the goal in the match but then missed his penalty.
Final Betting Analysis: Athletico Paranaense vs. Botafogo
It will be a very good match and a tough test for Botafogo that will help them measure themselves for what follows this season, while Paranaense needs to win to get out of the bad streak they are having and get back on track in the fight for the title. The good moment of the Cariocas is going to be very important mentally and we believe that they will be the winners.
The odds at MyBookie.ag have Athletico Paranaense as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows +115, meanwhile Botafogo has +225 and the draw is at +225.
