America MG vs Botafogo RJ 01.07.2022

Brazil Serie A strugglers, America MG will turn their focus to the Copa do Brazil having made the last 16 for the first time in a decade. Prior to this fixture, Mancini’s side is yet to find the back of the net for over 400 minutes in all competitions, with only a draw in their last 5 matches. The Rio’s Reds seems to be searching for their selfhood and discovering what that is, may take a little longer than the home fans will expect, as they play host to the resilient Botafogo RJ.

That said, Botafogo RJ have managed to rake their way back to the Brazil Serie A mid-table after giant-killing International and Sao Paulo in their last 3 matches. While they have been wobbly on the road so far, Castro’s side have shown beyond doubt they can compete and keep games tight and close against teams at the bottom of the Brazil Serie A standings.

This Copa do Brazil encounter could be a cagey affair where goals are likely to be thin on the ground at Estadio Raimundo Sampaio. As a result, leaning on first half to produce less than 2 goals will be great to land you some cash.
