Command Analysis

Botafogo RJ

Current form
Botafogo was approaching the start of the Copa Libertadores as the current winner of the trophy and was once again among the main favorites of the tournament. Renato Paiva's team was far from the most difficult group, and in the company of Universidad de Chile, Estudiantes and Carabobo, it was certainly the undisputed favorite. However, in the first round, the victorious ones frankly failed in Santiago, losing 0:1 to Universidad de Chile, now Botafogo no longer has the right to make a mistake, a mistake in the confrontation with the main outsider of the quartet can be costly.

Carabobo FC

Current form
For objective reasons, Carabobo approached the start of the Copa Libertadores group stage as the main outsider of its group, significantly inferior in experience and class to all competitors. In the first round, Diego Merino's team hosted Estudiantes and quite expectedly lost to the pied pipers with a score of 0:2, significantly aggravating the already difficult situation in the group. At the same time, Carabobo beat Caracas 1-0 in the Venezuelan championship a few days ago, thus managing to maintain its leadership in the championship table.

3.85Tip and bets
Botafogo failed in the first round and lost to Universidad de Chile, so the hosts don't have the right to make mistakes against an opponent like Carabobo. Obviously, there will be plenty of motivation, the first victory of the season a few days ago over Juventude will surely give the victorious confidence in their strength. The difference in class between the rivals is too great, it is unlikely that Carabobo has a real chance of avoiding a major defeat in Rio de Janeiro.
We believe that the guests have no chance. The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-2) on Botafogo. This bet is offered with odds of 1.95
Bet on the total
Botafogo is the undisputed favorite of the match and will definitely be determined to win today. Obviously, the pressure on the Carabobo goal will be huge and the visitors are unlikely to remain without conceding goals, the superiority in the Brazilian class is too great. At the same time, the victorious ones are far from perfect in defense, the Venezuelans are quite capable of responding to the counterattacks with a prestige goal – it makes sense to count on a scoring extravaganza in such a duel.
The bet is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered for 1.85
Betting on corners
Botafogo is the favorite and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes at the opponent's goal – the hosts should win from the corners with a margin.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-4) on corners on Botafogo. This bet is offered for 1.61
