Botafogo Resende betting prediction

The home team is currently in the ª position, no points won yet, after 1 win and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Madureira by (2‑0). In the last round, they have won a home match against Macaé by (3‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 1 draw and 12 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Botafogo has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. Goals have been frequent in their home matches, as 14 of the last 32 have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 20 out of 32 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 8 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Alvinegro Carioca does not have a satisfactory season in the beginning of the competition, occupying only the 3rd place in group A, with a simple 3 points in 3 games played, which leaves the club in a life or death situation for the next rounds, after all now only the victory counts to leave Botafogo with chances of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Guanabara Cup. Coach Alberto Valentim remains under pressure in the position, but guarantees maximum strength to seek the first victory against Resende.

Confirmed Lineup: Roberto Fernández, Guilherme Santos, Joel Carli, Marcelo Benevenuto, Fernando Costanza, Cícero, Luis Henrique, Pedro Raúl, Luiz Fernando, Thiaguinho, Bruno Nazário.
Coach: L. Ribeiro de Castro.
