America MG U20 vs Botafogo U20 tips and predictions

Plenty of questions in Copa Sao Paulo de juniores clash; draw has potential

Any eventuality looks possible here. The evidence is leaning towards the draw. The suspicion is that this is going to be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go crazy about.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. In their last 5 matches America MG U20 have only conceded 0.8 goals, while Botafogo U20 have only conceded 0.5 goals per game on average in their last 4 away matches.

The sportsbooks are expecting goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in possession. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive here.

America MG U20 have drawn 7 of their last 14 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Falcon U20 at home earlier this month. Botafogo U20 have drawn 8 of their last 16 matches. They shared the spoils with Resende U20 last Sunday. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to keep at arm's length but the draw is food for thought. Deadlock is the pick after what looks set to be a tightly contested match-up.
