Portuguesa Botafogo PB betting prediction

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the Copa do Brasil with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. 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, 7 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Paulista A1, they got an away tie against Noroeste by (1‑1). In the last 10 home matches Portuguesa has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. Goals have been frequent in their home matches, as 7 of the last 16 have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 11 out of 16 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The São Paulo-based Associação Portuguesa de Desportos have a rich history in Brazilian football, although in recent years they have struggled to establish themselves among the elite of the national game. In the 2025 Campeonato Paulista, Portuguesa have shown a steady performance, with a series of draws in their recent games. The team have a solid defense, managing to keep the opposition under control, as seen in games without conceding goals, but lacks the strength in attack to turn draws into victories. The presence of experienced players in the squad brings a certain consistency to the team, but they still lack young talents that bring a change of pace and intensity to the game. Portuguesa usually play compactly, relying on quick transitions and taking advantage of opportunities on the counterattack, especially when playing at home.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael Santos, G. Santos, Eduardo Henrique Biazus, João, Tauã Belo, Everton Leandro de Oliveira Santos, Igor Torres da Silva, Rildo Gonçalves de Amorim Filho, Everton Tiago Barella de Souza Messias.
