America MG vs Botafogo Predictions

• America Mineiro have lost three of their last four games
• The visitors have the second-best away record in the league
• America MG have lost four of their five meetings with the top four so far

League leaders visit basement side

Botofogo continue their march towards the Brazilian title when they head to bottom side America Mineiro on Wednesday night. The hosts had endured a tough run of late, recently going on a run on four straight defeats.

However, they appear to have turned a corner with a 2-0 victory away to Fluminense in their last clash. They return to action against the worst side in the league, who head into this encounter having lost three of their last four matches.

Visitors look too strong

The visitors have won 17 of their 26 matches so far this term and they head into this clash against a side who have been beaten 16 times so far. America Mineiro have lost eight times at their own ground, while Botofogo have the second-best record on their travels across the division.

The hosts look unlikely to deal with the gulf in class, having lost four of their five meetings with the top four teams in the league. With Botofogo back on track in their title chase, take advantage of the value on the champions-elect to win away to a side headed straight for the second tier.
