Palmeiras vs Botafogo
Serie A
Date: 27th November 2017
Kick off at 22:00 UK / 23:00 CET
Venue: Allianz Parque (Sao Paulo).

Botafogo dropped out of the top six with just two games left to play in the top flight and they are desperate to clinch much-needed points on a very tough away fixture away at the former champions Palmeiras.

Palmeiras

We say former because Verdao have given away the crown to Corinthians who have been bay far the most dominant force in this term of Serie A.

The hosts opened the season in a catastrophic fashion, but they will still finish it most likely in the top three which can’t be quite regarded as a failure considering such slow kick off to the campaign.

Alberto Valentim’s side did drop points at the visit to Avai last weekend, but they’ve been more than impressive in front of the home crowd as of late.

Palmeiras won three and drew two of their last five home fixtures, including the 5-1 thumping of Sport Recife.

Botafogo

Even though Fogao desperately need points to break into the top six and book their spot for Copa Libertadores next season, we can hardly see them ending the poor form at Allianz Parque.

Jair Ventura’s men lost three, drew one and won just one of their last five league outings and they’ve bagged no more than a single goal ion last three matches.

Palmeiras vs Botafogo: Head to head

Palmeiras managed to clinch the spoils from the visit to Estadio Nilton Santos back in August this year when the two likes have met each other for the first time in this term of Serie A.

Verdao also lead the overall head to head tie by five wins and they’ll head into this after winning three of last four meetings with Fogao.

Palmeiras vs Botafogo: Prediction

Palmeiras have been super impressive at home lately and we’ll back them to keep the good form going and claim the victory over the struggling Botafogo side at the odds of 1.72.

Additionally, backing the hosts to net two or more seems to be a decent call given they’ve done so in each of their previous five outings at Allianz Parque.
