Tip and bets

TipHandicap (-1) on Botafogo

2.65

Botafogo are in excellent form and are particularly strong at home, having won four games in a row at home. It is obvious that the hosts will be determined today and will bet on a confident victory. Sao Paulo are frankly unimpressive in the championship, the Tricolors are particularly vulnerable in away games, and their results against Botafogo in recent years have left much to be desired.

We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Botafogo . This bet is offered with odds of 2.65
