👉 Our prediction is: Botafogo win or draw

Botafogo has been a thorn in the side of many teams of late, and even away from home, they are quite a dangerous opponent for anyone. So as they travel to face Bragantino, our betting tip is Botafogo win or draw on the Double Chance market, which means they can either win or draw for the bet to win.

It would honestly not be that big of a surprise if Botafogo emerged victorious against Bragantino given the quality they've shown, but claiming a point is a much more realistic goal.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams to score

The match between Bragantino and Botafogo has all the necessary ingredients for plenty of goals. And of course: for both sides - and that's the focus of our bet here.

Therefore, we believe that the Both Teams to Score market is the best recommendation here, as the attacks are working well and, on some occasions, the defenses have been making mistakes.

That's why we're going with BTTS.
