Betting Predictions
The first-ever Grandpa Derby of the 2024 Brasileiro Serie A season between Botafogo and Fluminense will occur Tuesday at the Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos.
Fogo moved to third place in the standings at the beginning of this month after defeating Corinthians 1-0. Meanwhile, the reigning Copa Libertadores champions are now in 15th place after drawing with Juventude 1-1.
Head-to-Head
In the last Serie A match Botafogo played, they defeated Corinthians 1-0 on the road. It was Junior Santos who scored the goals. Fluminense’s previous game against Juventude ended in a 1-1 draw. In this Serie A match, they managed to possess the ball for 58% of the time, and Marcelo scored a goal. The last time they played, Botafogo won 2-0 over Fluminense. In their previous eight confrontations, Fluminense has won three games, Botafogo has won three, and two games have ended in draws.
Team News
Due to a knee injury, Rafael is expected to be out for Fogo until mid-June. Several players, such as Matheus Nascimento, Pablo, Jeffinho, and Eduardo, may be sidelined for this match because of thigh problems. Since Jefferson Savarino is presently serving with Venezuela on international duty, Marcal will likely be out until mid-month due to a calf issue.
Junior Santos’ goal in the 59th minute proved enough to overcome Corinthians, and John made seven saves to preserve the clean sheet.
Due to thigh ailments, Fluzao’s Lele and Andre were absent from their encounter against Juventude; neither is anticipated to recover until the middle of June. Thiago Silva is vying to make his league debut after joining Chelsea in May.
In the Brasileiro Serie A campaign, from matchday six to seven, five new players were added to the starting lineup: German Cano, Marlon, Ganso, Marcelo, Felipe Melo, and Ganso took the places of Diogo Barbosa, Antonio Carlos, Manoel, Lima, and Kaua Elias.
A 45th-minute penalty converted by Marcelo was all they could manage against Juventude, while Jhon Arias is still seeking his first goal in Serie A this year after netting nine times in 2023.
Probable Line-Up
Botafogo XI:
John; Suarez, Halter, Bastos, Cuiabano; Gregore, Freitas; Romero, Yarlen, Tche Tche; Santos
Fuminese XI:
Fabio; Marquinhos, Marlon, Silva, Marcelo; Martinelli, Alexsander; Arias, Ganso, Elias; Cano
Verdict
Tip: Draw
Reason
Two of Botafogo RJ’s previous five games have ended in draws. In addition, Fluminense has drawn eight of its last twenty away games. They shared the spoils with Juventude last week, the last time they got close. It feels like a match to be cautious with and not very exciting. The play following what is likely to be a low-scoring game is the draw. This table displays all of the outcomes. Before making a decision, do your research. Things will likely get tight.

Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
Reason
These two teams have both appeared to have formidable defenses. Botafogo RJ, who appear resilient in the face of difficulty, has given up just one goal in their past four games, and Fluminense has played excellent away defense. Both sides look like they would be pragmatic and not come out to score.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
