APWin Prediction

Correct Score: 2 - 1

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Botafogo and Bangu given their lack of goalscoring ability.

That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Defensive solidity should prove to be a major factor in this matchup. Both teams' backlines are rock solid, so scoring chances will be hard to come by.

As such, there is decent value to be had in betting 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market.
