Botafogo take on the visitors Sao Paulo in the round 12 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, June 16th at Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos (Rio de Janeiro).
Botafogo spent last season in the 2nd division of the country. "Lone Star" is formally considered one of the historical giants of Brazil. But in terms of full-fledged trophies, there is little to be proud of: a couple of champion titles, semi-official international tournaments. At the same time, last season, the grandee spent in Serie B. At the start of new season there was a good segment, when they managed avoid defeats from the 2nd to the 7th round. But since the end of May, the newcomer to the division began to lose to everyone. 0-1 with Avai was the 4th defeat in a row.

Sao Paulo hope to remind of their former glory. "Tricolor" is certainly one of the strongest and most famous clubs in the country. But recently, not everything went well with him, and in 2021 he managed to take only 13th place. To add, they brought back a local legend, goalkeeper-scorer Rogerio Ceni. It didn’t work out very well, but the successors were even worse. A new attempt, too, so far does not pull on some kind of breakthrough. In Copa Sudamericana the Brazilians took 16 points and won the group. In Brasileirao Sao Paulo rarely loses, but have many draws. However, in the previous match, they managed to beat America Mineiro and climb to 3rd place. Especially worth highlighting is Calieri, who scores a lot. But the Argentine was bought by Manchester City in the winter, and will soon leave for England.
Sao Paulo had a nice 7 match unbeaten streak. But at the beginning of the last calendar year, Botafogo ended it by taking a minimal victory at home. Experts tend to give advantage in this pair to the visitors. Just in case, to avoid disappointments, we recommend using the "0" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Sao Paulo to win with 0.0 handicap.
