What to expect

We expect about 2.0 goals from Botafogo RJ and 1.0 from Vasco, so Botafogo RJ come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Botafogo RJ come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Vasco to score 1 or fewer. This is about Vasco's goals alone, not the game's total. We make them around 1.0 on the day, and the bet wants them to 1 or fewer, which we make about 77%.

We put the chance of that landing at about 77 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.47, which works out at about 68 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
Botafogo RJ have not won any of their last five.
