Matchday 22 action in the Brasileiro Serie A sees fifth-place Botafogo playing host to eighth-placed Red Bull Bragantino. Will Fogo continue their resurgence under manager Davide Ancelotti or will Massa Bruta spoil the day? Check out our match prediction below!
Following their disappointing exit from the Copa Libertadores, Botafogo were able to respond with a 3-1 away win over Juventude in the league. In their most recent fixture, the hosts played out to a 1-1 draw away from home against Vasco in the Copa do Brasil quarter-final first leg.
There’s been a marked improvement in Botafogo’s play since the appointment of Ancelotti in the beginning of July. Fogo have played 13 matches under the Italian, winning seven and losing just three.
Bragantino, meanwhile, have really been struggling. They finally put an end to a disastrous losing streak which saw them dumped out of the Copa do Brasil by Botafogo in the previous round, as well as drop out of the top six in the battle for the Copa Libertadores spots.
Bragantino managed a 4-2 home win over Fluminense on Saturday to snap an eight-game losing run across all competitions. The attack finally clicked back into gear as it was the first time the visitors had scored more than a single goal since mid July.
Bragantino created five clear cut chances in that match and had four different players on the scoresheet.

Our Botafogo vs Bragantino Prediction
Botafogo have been very impressive defensively under Davide Ancelotti who has straightened the ship and has the hosts picking up positive results. However, they haven’t been the most potent attacking side with the focus often on making sure that things are tight at the back.
While Bragantino finally showed some attacking life last time out, we have yet to see if they can keep it up when playing on the road. They struggled to get anything going on their last visit here and we could see a repeat type of performance. Our Botafogo vs Bragantino prediction: under 2.5.
