Vasco Da Gama and Botafogo will seek to rise from their chaotic build-ups to their Serie A clash when they meet this Sunday. While Vasco find themselves in the bottom half, eighth-placed Botafogo are grappling with boardroom issues. Read on for our prediction of the match.
After only 12 matches in the season, Vasco have already suffered seven defeats. Only one team has lost more. When the league took a break, it wasn’t a great time for Vasco, who had just posted a 3-1 win away at Sao Paulo.
That win was a welcome break after losing back-to-back against Fluminense and Bragantino. Having failed to score in three of four home league games, Vasco have a target to work on.
Botafogo are coming from the Club World Cup, where they pulled one of the shock results in beating PSG. Their journey there didn’t progress deeper, though, as they were eliminated at the round of 16 after a 1-0 loss to Palmeiras.
That defeat means Botafogo have failed to score in their last two matches.On the road in Serie A, Botafogo aren’t doing well either; they have one win in six.
They have a new manager in Davide Ancelotti, and the Italian will look to steady the ship. A stormy relationship between the club owner and the former manager led to these changes.
