Cruzeiro and Botafogo FR meet on Sunday, Jul 26 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A.
Cruzeiro come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Botafogo FR travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Cruzeiro here — they've won 4 of 10 previous meetings against Botafogo FR, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Cruzeiro won 0–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Cruzeiro look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Botafogo FR will make it uncomfortable. Cruzeiro to win.
