Botafogo Sol de América betting prediction

After the home loss in the 1st leg, the away team comes to this 2nd leg with a disadvantage of 1 goal and the hard task of having to come back from a negative result in an away match. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 36 conceded; against 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Sol de América has won 4, tied 1 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 3 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Sol America will have a complicated mission ahead, as they will need to seek a win for two or more goals away from their fans. In order to achieve this result, Sol America will have to show a different posture in the field, thus pressing with attention and trying to be bolder when it comes to attacking. The coach should not have major absences for this duel, so he should put a very competitive team on the field.

Confirmed Lineup: Ruben Escobar, Iván Villalba, Milciades Portillo, Federico Acuna, Richard Franco, Edgar Ferreira, Federico Jourdan, Walter Clar, Cesar Villagra, Rodrigo Ruiz Díaz, Mario Otazú.
Coach: H. García Ramírez.
