I was really very disappointed with Internacional, I thought they could stop Botafogo and put an end to their winning streak.
However, I see that we have a new favorite, or at least, a current, very consolidated championship leader.
Even with Botafogo's draw with São Paulo and a possible victory for Palmeiras, the difference between first and second place is still 3 points, a relatively safe margin still.
Anyway, there was a time when the leader of the table until the middle of the championship generally became champion, but lately this is no longer happening... the leadership tends to alternate until the last matches. How long will Botafogo be able to maintain this position?
I believe not for long.
In the game between São Paulo and Botafogo, there were two very early penalties, which is funny because they happened in the first 11 minutes of the game. But I thought that Botafogo would come out on top in this game, especially when I saw that Botafogo scored the second goal. I expected that after conceding a penalty, Botafogo would be more careful in defense and manage the game well. But they conceded an equalizer. I was close to betting on this game, but I'm glad I didn't.
Regarding whether Botafogo will be able to maintain this position for a long time, in my opinion, they might even be able to do the same thing they did last season, when they were leading the table and when the league was close to ending, they started to lose a lot. Botafogo's advantage this season is that they haven't changed coaches, and Palmeiras isn't as strong as it was last season, and Flamengo is still as strong as it was last season. So there is a good chance that Botafogo will become champion
For this next round, I will bet on the following games:
Palmeiras SP - EC Vitoria ( I will bet that Palmeiras will win )CR Flamengo RJ - AC Goianiense GO ( I will bet that Flamengo will win )I will make this choice for the following reasons:
The two big teams will play against very weak teams, as the odds are low, I will make a multi bet
