All things considered, it’s fairly apparently who are the favourites to advance from the tie and you’d also have to fancy Botafogo’s chances on the night. Man for man, they are a stronger and more powerful team than Sol de America, and will be hungry to translate that onto the pitch.
As far as the betting is concerned, it’s hard to see just why Botafogo have been priced as underdogs and great value can be found in backing them on the Draw No Bet line. Sol de America have lost 3 of their last 5 games 1-0, Botafogo have won 2 of their last 3 matches 1-0 and that’s a scoreline we can see being repeated on Wednesday in the Brazilians’ favour.
