Atletico MG vs Botafogo Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa Libertadores
by Ian John in Copa Libertadores Predictions
The biggest game in South America, the Copa Libertadores Final, takes place on Saturday between Brazilian sides Botafogo and Atlético Mineiro. River Plate’s Estadio Monumental hosts the final match of an exciting tournament, so who will our prediction favour to win the trophy? The ‘Fogo or Galo Forte Vingador?
Both teams have form that is somewhat the reverse of the other. Botafogo boss Artur Jorge has seen his team go on a long unbeaten run in Brazil’s Serie A, but they have looked susceptible in the Copa Libertadores, especially away from home. That could be a factor with this game being played on neutral territory in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires.
In contrast, Gabriel Milito’s Atlético Mineiro have been very good in the Copa Libertadores over the entire course of the competition, but their league form in Brazil’s Serie A has seen them win just one of their last eleven matches. They also know that in meetings between the two teams this season, Botafogo have had the upper hand, including a 3-0 win. Their most recent game was a bad tempered 0-0 draw which saw three red cards, one for Atletico, two for Botafogo late in the game.

Atletico MG - Botafogo: Form Analysis
Botafogo’s league form is outstanding as they are unbeaten in Serie A since early August. A run of 14 games, eight of which have been won, six drawn. That included a hugely important 3-1 win over Palmeiras in their last game before this final, which took them top of the table with just two games of the season to go.
But Botafogo have won just one of their last five in the Copa Libertadores. That being a 5-0 win over Penarol in the semi-final first leg. They lost the second leg 3-1 to progress 6-3 in aggregate. They also beat Palmeiras and Sao Paulo on their way to the final.
Atlético Mineiro’s form domestically is very poor.
With just one win in their last eleven Brazil Serie A games (five draws, five defeats). They lie 10th in the table on 44 points, 29 points behind Botafogo. They drew 0-0 at home to Botafogo on the 21st November before drawing 2-2 away to Sao Paulo and then losing 3-2 at home to Juventude.
In the Copa Libertadores though their form is excellent, winning all of their seven home games, but they have drawn two and lost two of their last four on the road. That may be a worry with the final being played at a neutral venue.
They beat River Plate 3-0 at home before drawing 0-0 in the second leg to reach the final. They also beat San Lorenzo and Fluminense on their way to the final.

Atletico MG & Botafogo Squad Analysis
Both teams should be in good shape heading into the Copa Libertadores Final. Neither team has a player suspended for the match and in general, both teams have relatively full-strength squads to pick from, aside from fringe players who have been injured for the long term.
Botafogo will likely line up in their preferred 4-2-3-1 formation with Igor Jesus spearheading attack, ably assisted by the creative influences of Thiaga Almada on the left, Luis Henrique on the right and Venezuelan international Jefferson Savarino in an advanced midfield role.
Former Manchester United left-back Alex Telles will likely start in that position for Botafogo
Atlético Mineiro tend to play a 3-4-2-1 formation with Deyverson their main attacking threat. He is supported by the second-top goalscorer in this competition, Paulinho who has seven goals in eleven Copa Libertadores games.
Veteran Hulk makes up the trio, despite being 37-years of age.
Wing backs Gustavo Scarpa and Guilherme Arana provide width down the flanks, with former Southampton defender Lyanco playing on the right side of a trio of defenders that includes Roberto Battaglia and Junior Alonso.

Our Atletico MG vs Botafogo Prediction
Our prediction for the Atlético Mineiro vs. Botafogo Copa Libertadoes Final on Saturday is: Botafogo to win.
Atlético Mineiro have not won a game since their 3-0 semi-final first leg win over River Plate in this competition. They face a Botafogo side that could win the Serie A and Copa Libertadores double this season. Artur Jorge's team come into the game on the back of a superb 3-1 away win over title rivals Palmeiras and as such, are a very solid choice to win the trophy.
