Botafogo are one of the absolute worst teams in the Brazilian top flight, and are on a long losing streak. In fact, only one other squad has let in more goals than them in the entire competition and they are also struggling to find the back of the net as well.
Meanwhile, Sao Paulo are on a long unbeaten stretch of results and are consistently finding the back of the net. It also needs to be noted that they have seldom lost on the road in the past few months.
They are placed 3rd in the table as of now and since the second-best team has a tough fixture coming up, it is an opportunity for Sao Paulo to improve their position in the table. By the looks of things expect a convincing win for them this Thursday.
Botafogo had lost their past 4 games and had let in a total of 8 goals in the process. Note that they are also on a two-fixture losing streak at home.
On the other hand, Sao Paulo are on a 15-game unbeaten run, and they have lost just twice on the road since February. In addition, they also have a poor head-to-head record against this opponent over the years.
Considering these observations, expect a win for Sao Paulo this Thursday.
