THE PREDICTION

Botafogo’s poor start to the season has resulted in a change of manager, with Paulo Autuori exiting the club following their 2-1 home defeat against Bahia earlier this week. Bruno Lazaroni will take charge for this game, and he has a tough task on his hands in trying to improve the belief of a team who have won only once in 12 games - it is worth noting though that they have drawn eight of those matches, so they haven’t been losing every week. The situation is brighter for the visitors as they come into this contest on the back of a 4-0 victory against Coritiba and they will be confident of picking up at least a point here. A change of coach might bring an improvement in performance from the hosts, but it’s still hard to see them coming out on top here, and a wager on Fluminense draw no bet looks to be a good option.
