Botafogo have been in good form themselves too, winning five of their last six matches in the division. Wins on the road against Bahia and Coritiba recently have given them a much-needed confidence boost.

Our Vasco da Gama vs Botafogo predictions are based on the hosts’ improved form at their own ground, with backing a lack of entertainment making the most sense in terms of value in this weekend’s Brazilian Serie A odds.

Only a few places separate these two in the table, but Botafogo will need to at least take a share of the spoils on Sunday if they are to cling onto a qualification place for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores. Vasco da Gama, meanwhile, remain aiming for the Copa Sudamericana.

Vasco da Gama vs Botafogo Prediction and Betting Advice

Botafogo have found the back of the net in four of their last five away games, with the visitors stepping up their form on the road considerably. They’ve lost just one of those matches, with two consecutive wins against Bahia and Coritiba coming most recently.

Equally, the away side have only kept one clean sheet in that time too. While they have proven themselves to be a threat going forward, they’ve also highlighted that they are quite defensively frail at the other end of the pitch too.

Vasco da Gama, meanwhile, haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last four attempts in the Brazilian top flight. Avai, Chapecoense, Sport Recife and Corinthians have all found a way through, with Sportingbet offering the best value in the market of both of these sides conceding this weekend.

Our Vasco da Gama vs Botafogo bets do not back there being too much in the way of entertainment on Sunday. The hosts have kept things fairly reserved at home of late in the Brazilian Serie A, with more than two goals being scored there in one of their last nine at Estadio Club de Regates Vasco da Gama.

Their last three games have ended in two 1-1 draws and a 1-0 victory over Gremio, so the hosts know how to keep entertainment to a minimum in order to scrape out a favourable result. Against a team that is bearing down on Copa Libertadores qualification, they would see a point as one gained rather than two dropped.

Our Vasco da Gama vs Botafogo picks suggest there shouldn’t be a goalfest this weekend in this contest, with both teams very particular about their aims. Botafogo can’t afford to lose, given that they have a three points back over seventh, but Betfred offer the best value on there being less than three clear goals.
