This Copa do Brasil  fixture can hardly be expected to produce a goal fiest, and the first leg fittingly ended in a 1-0 win for Atletico Paranaense. In fact, both teams have significant problems scoring, while also showing rather decent defensive record. That is why we expect a very tight and cautious affair between them in our Botafogo vs Atletico Mineiro preview, and that is especially true in the cup fixture when every mistake can prove to be crucial.

The hosts are one of the most boring teams in the Brazilian Serie A, with just 16 goals scored and 13 goals conceded in 16 matches. No less than 12 of them produced two goals or less, which is naturally very important for our Botafogo vs Atletico Mineiro betting tips. That is also relevant as far as the visitors are concerned. Most of their fixtures have been low scoring, and only two away matches in the league went over 2.5 goals.

Botafogo's recent results:

  • 1-0 vs Fluminense (away)
  • 2-1 vs Sport Recife (home)
  • 0-0 vs Atletico Paranaense (away)
  • 1-1 vs Atletico Goinaniense (away)

Atletico Mineiro's recent results:

  • 0-1 vs Santos (home)
  • 2-1 vs Atletico Goianiense (away)
  • 0-2 vs Bahia (home)
  • 1-2 vs Vasco da Gama (home)

Botafogo vs Atletico Mineiro Predictions and Betting Advice

The hosts are clearly the favourites to erase the minimal deficit from the first leg, but cup games tend to be unpredictable, and the league fixture between the rivals ended in a 1-1 draw earlier this month. Therefore, it looks like the number of goals is the best way to go for our Botafogo vs Atletico Mineiro predictions. Both teams are usually involved in low scoring fixtures, and the odds on under 2.5 goals are definitely good at 1.72.
