Match Analysis: Botafogo vs. Seattle Sounders
Will Both Teams Score?
We predict that a draw isn’t beneficial for either team, as they need to wrestle against both PSG and Atletico Madrid for a place in the top two. Expect **both teams to push for a decisive victory** in this encounter. The reigning Libertadores champions have proven adept at finding the net, scoring in **seven out of their last ten games** against teams such as **U. de Chile** and **Ceara**.
In comparison, the Sounders have also been scoring regularly, netting in four of their last five outings. Their home advantage could make a significant difference.

With star attackers unavailable, **Igor Jesus** has stepped up as Botafogo’s key player. Despite not being called up for recent Brazil fixtures, he boasts **seven goals and one assist** this season.
