Gremio vs Botafogo Predictions

• Gremio have won the last five head-to-heads between these two
• Five of the last six meetings between this pair have gone over 2.5 goals
• Both teams have scored in five of Gremio’s last six games

Top two battle it out

Botafogo and Gremio have cut out much of the early running in the Brazilian Serie A this season and the sides currently sit first and second in the table respectively. The signing of Luis Suarez has boosted Gremio massively and they have been in fine form recently, winning five of their last six league games.

However Botafogo have won 11 of their 13 league games this season and are hardly pushovers so this should be an intriguing clash between the top two.

Worth siding with hosts

Despite both teams being in strong form, Gremio’s head-to-head record and home advantage may give them the edge in this clash. The hosts have won the last five times these teams have done battle and have been solid in their own backyard this season.

This does look set to be a close game however and five of the last six games between the pair have gone over 2.5 goals so take a 2-1 home win correct score.
