Cruzeiro vs Botafogo RJ

Two mid-table sides with similar form Cruzeiro host Botafogo in a Brasileirão clash between sides close in the table. The pick covers the hosts avoiding defeat. The read Cruzeiro benefit from home advantage, but Botafogo own one of the most prolific attacks in the competition and are a side able to strike anywhere, shaky defence and all. It's a balanced meeting: I read it around 62%, mildly favourable. The confidence of 6 looks in line with the tie's uncertainty. A preview with the hosts favoured to avoid defeat, but without guarantees.
