I waited with this bet until last moment because I wanted to see the most possible line ups for today's match.

Sao Paulo today will play with almost the same line up like in previous matches. Only experienced 37 years old midfielder Dani Alves (1 goal and 2 assists in 17 matches) is unavailable, he is suspended. Tche Tche (1 goal and 1 assist in 21 matches) will replace him and I believe Sao Paulo quality shouldn't drop too much.

Botafogo have much bigger problems before today's match. Their coach Eduardo Barroca remains out, after testing positive for Covid-19. His assistant Felipe Lucena for sure is not in comfortable position - Botafogo star Keisuke Honda is not fully fit and he will start on the bench. First goalkeeper Fernandez is injured, key left defender Luis is suspended. Botafogo line up have much lower quality in comparison to Sao Paulo - today on the pitch we will see Lucas Ocampos (1 Serie A match in current season), Welison (5 matches) or Marcinho (3 matches). I don't believe their quality is good enough to stop Sao Paulo.

Botafogo is in poor form, they lost last 5 matches in a row. On the other hand Sao Paulo is leader of the table, they are full of confidence as they are unbeaten in last 16 matches in a row (they are on good track to beat record of 18 matches from 2008). São Paulo have second-best offense in Serie A (tied with Flamengo and only worse than Atlético Mineiro) and the best defense (together with Grêmio ).

Sao Paulo won 7 of last 10 matches against Botafogo. In previous season they won at home against them 2:0 and today once again I see them as a clear favorite of this match.

我一直等到最后一刻，因为我想看看今天比赛最可能出现的阵容。

圣保罗今天的阵容几乎和以往的比赛一样。只有经验丰富的37岁中场丹尼·阿尔维斯(17场比赛1球2助攻)不能上场，他被禁赛。达尼洛·内维斯(21场比赛1球1助攻)将取代他，我相信圣保罗的实力不会下降太多。

博塔弗戈在今天的比赛前有更大的问题。他们的教练爱德华多·巴尔罗卡在Covid-19检测呈阳性后无法参赛。他的助手卢塞纳肯定有些不适应——博塔福戈球星本田圭佑还没有完全康复，他将会在替补席上。第一门将费尔南德斯受伤，左后卫路易斯停赛。博塔弗戈的阵容与圣保罗相比实力要低得多——今天我们将在球场上看到卢卡斯·奥坎波斯(本赛季巴甲出战1次)，韦利森(本赛季巴甲出战5次)和马奇尼奥(本赛季巴甲出战3次)。我不相信他们有足够的能力可以阻止圣保罗。

博塔弗戈的状态很差，他们连输了5场比赛。另一方面，圣保罗是积分榜的领头羊，他们充满信心，因为他们在过去16场比赛中保持不败(他们很有可能打破2008年以来18场比赛的记录)。圣保罗拥有巴甲第二好的进攻(和弗拉门戈打成相同，只比米涅罗竞技队差)和最好的防守(和格雷米奥相同)。

圣保罗在过去10场对博塔弗戈的比赛中赢了7场。在上个赛季，他们在主场2:0战胜了他们，而今天，我又一次把他们看作是这场比赛中最受欢迎的球队。
