On Sunday, June 30, in the 13th round of the Brazilian Serie A, Botafogo will host Vasco da Gama. The prediction and bets for this match have been prepared by the analysts at Dailysports.
Vasco da Gama
Vasco da Gama, much like last season, is fighting for survival. The "Admirals" are currently in 16th place, separated from the relegation zone only by their head-to-head advantage over Atlético Goianiense, who also have 10 points. In 12 matches, Vasco has managed only 3 wins and 1 draw.
In their previous match, Vasco da Gama lost 1-2 away to Bahia, conceding the decisive goal five minutes before the end of regular time. Prior to this, the "Admirals" surprisingly defeated São Paulo 4-1 at home and lost 0-2 away to modest Juventude.
Botafogo
Botafogo, who contended for the championship until the very last round of the previous season, is also in the title race this season. The "Glorioso" are in third place in the standings with 23 points. They are just one point behind leaders Bahia and Flamengo. However, Palmeiras, who are in fourth place, trail only due to an inferior goal difference.
Botafogo started this season strongly, but their recent matches have been less successful. In the previous round, they secured a comeback victory over Red Bull Bragantino with a score of 2-1. Before that, Botafogo unexpectedly lost 1-2 away to Criciúma and drew 1-1 with Atlético Paranaense.
