Team Analysis
This match is the second leg of the 2025 Copa do Brasil Round of 16. Bragantino lost the first leg 0-2 away to Botafogo RJ, meaning they must win by at least two goals at home to force a penalty shootout, or by three goals to advance directly. Bragantino's recent form has been poor, with several losses across competitions, which certainly complicates their comeback bid. Botafogo RJ holds a comfortable two-goal lead and is expected to adopt a more cautious defensive strategy, looking to extend their advantage on the counter-attack.
Player Situation
Bragantino needs their key attacking players, such as Isidro Pitta, Eduardo Sasha, and Thiago Borbas, to step up in this decisive match. The return of goalkeeper Cleiton and defender Andrés Hurtado is a positive for their defense. Botafogo RJ has brought in several talented players during the summer transfer window, including Arthur Cabral and Joaquín Correa, who will provide stronger attacking options and squad depth. Jefferson Savarino will be another significant threat in their offense.
Nowgoal Prediction
Considering Bragantino's 0-2 aggregate deficit from the first leg and their recent poor form, overturning a solid Botafogo RJ side at home will be a massive challenge. Botafogo RJ's two-goal lead, combined with their new signings and tactical setup under coach Davide Ancelotti, will likely see them prioritize defensive solidity. We predict that Botafogo RJ will withstand the home team's pressure and secure the victory through counter-attacks.
