 Flamengo RJ - Botafogo RJ  Prediction, Picks and Taips  


 
 
With only four points from the first four league games, the reigning national champion Flamengo is currently in 17th place in the current table of the Brazilian Série A. Now, of all times, the still unbeaten city rival Botafogo is making a guest appearance in the legendary Maracanã, when one of the big city derbies in Rio de Janeiro, which is also called “Classico da Rivalidade”, is about to take place.

With Flamengo against Botafogo, the prognosis must also take into account the most recent games between the two teams. Most recently, Flamengo won four times in a row and celebrated a clear 3-0 victory over their city rivals in the last home game in the Maracanã on March 7, 2020 in the Carioca.

Because the guests are currently in a much better mood, we think it is a bit more sustainable to play the tip "BTS: Yes" against Botafogo at Flamengo. 





 
 


The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo not only celebrated the sixth Brazilian championship in the club's history in 2019, but also won the Copa Libertadores for the first time since 1981.

The face of these successes, however, coach Jorge Jesus, hired Benfica Lisbon in the summer. Successor Domènec Torrent stayed after this surprising change not even two weeks until the start of the league.

With two defeats, the men from Rio de Janeiro, also known as Rubro-Negro, then started very poorly in the A series, before at least promoted Coritiba could be defeated 1-0.

The first three under the first Spanish Flamengo coach did not generate a lot of momentum at all. On Thursday there was only a 1-1 draw against Gremio at home, in which the former Inter Milan striker Gabriel Barbosa saved his team from the next embarrassment with a converted penalty shortly before the final whistle.

There are only two goals from the first four league games despite numerous chances being played out. For comparison: a year ago Flamengo was known and feared as the absolute goal factory of Brazil with 86 goals in 38 league games.

It is clear that the potential to play up again is still there. But it is also clear that Domènec Torrent has to slowly but surely tease it out of its star ensemble again. If Flamengo against Botafogo tip 1 does not work in the end, that would not only exacerbate the crisis, but also make those responsible for losing points against one of the big city rivals disgruntled. The pressure is correspondingly great.


 
 
 
 
 

Even big clubs like Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas are not completely polished before they crash. The two-time Brazilian champion was relegated from Série A in 2014, but was able to return to the top division of the country with the second division championship the following year.

The Estrela Solitária (in German: the isolated star; alluding to the club's crest, which only shows that star on a black and white background) landed a top six finish and qualified for the Copa Libertadores. For the next three years, however, this was always missed.

At the end of the 2019 season, Botafogo was only in a sobering 15th place in the table. Only seven points ahead of a direct relegation place were ultimately on record, which is why it is not surprising that the reset button was pressed in the run-up to the new season.

With the veteran Paulo Autuori came a new coach and the transfer market was hit several times. Among other things, seasoned players such as the former Hertha striker Salomon Kalou hired at Fogão.
 
So far it seems at least as if these restructurings have made a difference, because after three league games the Estrela Solitária is still unbeaten and celebrated the first three after two draws at the start on Thursday.
