My Prediction
Botafogo by 1Peering at this Brasileiro Série A matchup through the looking glass, we're indulging in a little Botafogo vs Fluminense tussle. First things first, without that yellow jersey, you're just trying to kick a ball in a net folks. Let's toss these spaghetti strands and see what sticks, shall we?
Starting off, John Victor is donning the gloves for Botafogo and let me tell you, this lad could probably save a failed cooking experiment with a rating of 7.12 and 15 saves. It's a different story at Fluminense though, where Fábio, with a 6.86 rating and 10 saves, seems more likely to send my Grandma scrambling for her trusty wooden spoon than a game winning save.
As far as the 'movers and shakers' of Fluminense go, we're looking at Jhon Arias and Renê who've both pulled off a 7.50 rating and managed to net the ball once. Meanwhile, Samuel Xavier also joins the fray with a 7.30 rating, sneaking in a goal as well. For Botafogo though, Igor Jesus isn't going to be saving any souls with just two goals under his belt so far, despite his formidable 7.56 rating. Jefferson Savarino also has managed to score once, holding a 7.28 rating, while Jair Paula and Marlon Freitas, though goalless, come with impressive ratings of 7.26 and 7.16, respectively.
Surveying the scorched battlefield of the team's past encounters, one could argue that Botafogo might as well set up a patio and have a barbeque, having graced the win column each time the two have met in recent memory. You can't always rely on history to repeat itself though, and with Fluminense's recent skirmishes displaying more victories than their rivals, it's like comparing a swordfish to a goldfish folks.
So, better buckle up your connoisseur boots because we've got quite a winding road ahead. It's like predicting the weather, ain't it? Though in this case, Botafogo appears to have slightly better chances of raining supreme. I'd pencil them in for a victory, but don't quote me on that.
