Botafogo are one of many honorable teams of Brazil. The visiting side made their return to elite division from Serie B last season and needed some time before they could adjust to top-level football. Last five matches gained the team eight points and Botafogo now occupy 15th place in the league with 19-24 goal difference after 15 matchdays. Still, Botafogo struggle to gain points on the road, taking only five points in seven away matches with 8-15 aggregate goal difference.
The opponents met only twice before in season 2014 when the team exchanged home wins. Considering home record of Chapecoense and disappointing results of Botafogo on the road we can expect the hosts to prevail in the match and be closer to a victory.
Prediction for the match: Chapecoense to win with +0.0 Asian handicap.
