There are two matches scheduled for tonight in the Brazilian top flight at 9pm. Two interesting games, without a doubt, which give us the chance to pick at least four possible shots on goal. One per team, two per game, obviously.
Let’s start with the match between two teams with the same goal, namely to stay at the top of the table. Davide Ancelotti’s Botafogo are looking for their first home win in the league under their new coach. And up front, they have players who can make the difference at any moment. We choose Correa as a possible goal scorer. The former Inter player has integrated well into his new team and is a loyal servant to Ancelotti, who always sends him on from the first minute. He should find at least one shot on target. On the other side, Cruzeiro are a team that were top of the table until a few weeks ago. And there is Kaio Jorge, the tournament’s top scorer, who has already scored 12 goals in 15 appearances. From someone who sees the goal like he does, especially at the moment, we expect at least two shots on target.
Brasileirao predictions: here are the other names
Also in the evening, Corinthians will face Fortaleza. The hosts are favorites, almost always driven by Depay, who is always looking for solutions on the front line. The Dutch player has immediately settled into his new surroundings. Anything can happen when he has the ball at his feet. A shot on goal is guaranteed.
On the other hand, in a team going through a difficult period, one of the few players capable of pulling the chestnuts out of the fire is Lucero. A striker with three goals and three assists in 12 appearances, he has a strong physical presence and plenty of experience, so he should be able to find at least one shot on target.
