The Brasileirão keeps being as tight at the top as in the first weeks. However, Flamengo took advantage of a couple of slips by the chasing pack to establish more comfortably with a three-point lead. The runner-up, Botafogo, is still on the hunt and gets a new chance to recover its momentum against Cuibá.
O Fogo had an uncomfortable visit against Vasco, who although keeps being a poor team this season, has found some solidity at home. It was a 1-1, with the two goals coming in the last 15 minutes of regular time.
The Dourado started as the worst team of the first weeks but suddenly woke up and didn’t have a single defeat in the last five. Their previous game was a draw against Bragantino.

Why Bet on Cuiabá?
The locals are 14th on the table and have three wins, four draws, and six losses. We must point out that they have had all their victories and draws in their last eight clashes. Cuiabá earned a solid point with a 1-1 draw at home against Bragantino for the Brasileirão, thus extending their unbeaten run to five.
The Dourado now sits on the lower-middle part of the table. However, they have picked up wins against Fortaleza and São Paulo while taking points against Atletico GO, Corinthians, and Bragantino. Now, the hosts will fancy their chances of producing a result against their high-flying visitors at their Arena Pantanal.
Why Bet on Botafogo?
The visitors for this clash are the 2nd placed Botafogo, who have 24 points from a record of seven wins, three draws, and three losses. They rely on a pretty aggressive approach, scoring as many goals no matter what. Their last draw took them back a little, but they still hold a candle for the first place.
Flamengo has a tricky visit against Atlético Mineiro next Wednesday, so this may be O Fogo’s chance to cut distances quickly or even draw at the top. Either way, they should do their part of the job first, and this is no easy rival.
Like most teams in the Brasileirão, their record as visitors is not that convincing, with three wins, one draw, and two losses, but it’s still a positive one.
Final Betting Analysis: Cuiabá vs. Botafogo
Victories against Corinthians, Fluminense, Grêmio, and Bragantino along with points earned in draws with Fortaleza, Athletico PR, and Vasco da Gama should hold Artur Jorge’s side in good stead for this upcoming encounter against bottom-half outfit Cuiaba.
In addition, Botafogo has also suffered just one defeat in its last six outings on the road which includes an impressive 2-0 win at the current league leaders, Flamengo. So it should be a good opportunity for the visiting teams.
We’ll go for a victory for O Fogo by 0-1.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.55. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $155 for a total payout of $255.
