Sao Paulo vs Botafogo Prediction and Betting Tips | October 9, 2022

Sao Paulo and Botafogo will battle for three points at the Estadio do Murumbi in the Brasileiro Serie A on Sunday (October 9).

The hosts are coming off a 2-1 victory at America MG in midweek. Aloisio put America ahead in the tenth minute, but Jonathan Calleri and Alisson scored in either half to help Rogerio Ceni's side to a comeback win.

Botafogo, meanwhile, triumphed at Avai in similar circumstances. Guilherme Campos put the hosts ahead from the spot in the 11th minute before Victor Cuesta equalised four minutes into the second half. Tiquinho Soares netted the winner to seal all three points for the visitors.

Sao Paulo and Botafogo are level on 40 points and sit in ninth and tenth spots respectively after 30 games, although the former has a game in hand. The Tricolor Paulista will play their outstanding game against Coritiba later this month.
