Botafogo vs RB Bragantino Prediction and Betting Tips | August 30th 2025

Botafogo will invite RB Bragantino to Estádio Nilton Santos in the Brazilian Serie A on Saturday. The hosts have a two-point lead over Massa Bruta, despite playing two fewer games.

The defending champions have won just one of their last four games in all competitions, with that triumph registered away from home against Juventude last week. They failed to build on that win and were held to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals against Vasco da Gama earlier this week.

The visitors returned to winning ways after eight consecutive defeats last week with a 4-2 home triumph over Fluminense. Jhon Jhon and Eduardo Sasha scored in quick succession after the kickoff, while Ignacio Laquintana and Davi Gomes scored in the second half.
