Botafogo had an outstanding last season, which will certainly go down in the history of the club as one of the best.

1.75Tip and bets
Universidad de Chile has already gained good form in the championship and looks especially powerful at home – three consecutive wins with a total score of 11:0 clearly indicate that Botafogo may have big problems today. In defense, especially in away matches, the victorious ones fail regularly and it will be almost impossible to win back against such an opponent. At the same time, Botafogo has an advantage in the selection of players, the motivation of the guests will also be in abundance, they can play on their own goal.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with odds of 1.85
Betting on the outcome
Universidad de Chile, in our opinion, is the favorite of the match – the owls are practically invulnerable in home matches and in a situation where Botafogo is still very far from optimal shape, they are quite capable of fighting for all three points. The victorious ones will definitely improve and get in shape both in the championship and in the Copa Libertadores, but now it makes sense to rely on the Chileans, there is no huge difference in class between the teams, and Botafogo suffers regularly in away matches.
