Fluminense
Win Home
2.44
Fluminense enters this Rio derby with a significant home advantage at the Maracanã, where they've historically dominated. In the 2023 season, they boasted an impressive 58% home win rate, and their tactical discipline under pressure often shines in local rivalries. Botafogo's 3.29 odds reflect their inconsistent away form—they lost nearly half their road games last season—and vulnerability to high-pressing sides like Fluminense.
The draw at 3.08 appears overvalued given Fluminense's motivation in front of their fans and Botafogo's tendency to adopt an attacking approach that leaves gaps. Recent H2H meetings show Fluminense winning 3 of the last 5 home fixtures, underscoring their psychological edge.
Odds of 2.39 for Fluminense represent strong value. Our analysis adjusts their true win probability to 48% (versus the bookmaker's 40%), creating a positive expected value. With Botafogo missing key defenders due to suspensions, Fluminense's creative midfield should control the tempo and secure a vital three points.
