We are currently at matchday 13 out of 38 in the Brasileirão Série A, and we are focusing on a clash between a team from the top and one from the bottom in the current season.
The locals have been a sleeping giant for much of this century. So much so, that they spend some periods in the Série B. However, they seem to have awakened and in what a way, in the hands of an unstoppable Tiquinho. Meanwhile, Vasco is another big team that recently has a spell in the second division, but contrary to the other recently ascended big teams, they are failing massively.
When:

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Botafogo?
Botafogo is the current leader in the scoreboards, keeping a 7 points lead with 10 wins, no draws, and 2 losses in their season. O Fogo has been on a roll lately, crushing all opponents in its path.
They started strong with a 2-0 victory against Fortaleza and followed it up with a 1-0 win over Cuiaba. Not content with just two wins, the Lone Star went on to make it three in a row against Palmeiras, winning once again with a 1-0 scoreline.
At home, they have been even more dominant, winning all six of their last Serie A matches and scoring a whopping 12 goals while only conceding one.
Why Bet on Vasco?
We get the 18th-placed team in Vasco de Gama, who have 2 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses, which places them in the Relegation zone as of currently. In the last three nail-biting matches, they suffered two defeats against Internacional and Goias, with the scores being a close 2-1 and 0-1, respectively.
However, they managed to clinch a crucial victory against Cuiaba with a score of 1-0. While away, Ze Ricardo’s side has had a tough time in the Série A, with only one win in their past six games. But that’s not all, they also drew twice and lost thrice.
Betting Analysis: Botafogo vs. Vasco
Botafogo won an impressive eight out of their last 10 home games in the Brasileirão, securing two draws and no defeats in the process. Meanwhile, Vasco da Gama has had a mixed run on the road, winning only three out of their last 10 away games and losing five.
With two draws to balance things out, they’ll have to bring their A-game to avoid being trampled by Botafogo, but we simply expect the scoreboard leaders to be too much for Vasco to handle.
Go for a victory for the locals at -135. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $74.07 for a total payout of $174.07.
