Internacional vs Botafogo Predictions

• The hosts are unbeaten across their last 16 outings.
• Both teams have scored in six of Internacional’s last seven fixtures.
• Botafogo have conceded the opening goal in five of their last seven matches.

Finding a way to win is the task

The hosts are one of just two sides that have lost a single match so far this campaign. However, they have also drawn the joint-most matches in the division (6) and turning some of those draws into wins will be integral if they’re to continue challenging for the title. They currently sit third and four points adrift of Palmeiras but just three points ahead of sixth as things stand, meaning a victory here is important so as not to concede ground to their rivals.

The visitors were able to snap a run of four straight league defeats last time out when they won 1-0 against Sao Paulo. However, they now go back on the road and have to face a top-three opponent which doesn’t bode well for them. They’re simply not scoring enough goals and considering their last trip to a top three outfit saw them lose by a 4-0 margin, it would take something special to avoid defeat here.

Hosts to add another three points to their tally

There is a stark contrast in quality between these two sides and we definitely want to be on the hosts to claim victory. But we’ll back them to win and for the game to see at least two goals in total.
