Our prediction
Key factors behind our tip
Botafogo's 1.4 price implies roughly 71% win probability, making them strong market favourites over Chapecoense.
Chapecoense's 7.0 odds imply only about 14% win probability, reflecting the scale of the market's preference for Botafogo.
The draw at 4.75 implies around 21% probability, a notable gap below Botafogo's win chance but above Chapecoense's.
The recommended Under 3.5 goals bet at 1.6 carries a modelled edge of -5.98%, meaning it does not clear the value threshold despite being the standout selection.

Botafogo vs Chapecoense: match preview
Botafogo host Chapecoense in Brasileirão action with the betting market firmly behind the home side. At odds of 1.4, Botafogo are priced as heavy favourites, implying a win probability of roughly 71%. Chapecoense, by contrast, drift out to 7.0, translating to just over 14% implied probability, while the draw at 4.75 sits at about 21%. These numbers point to a lopsided contest on paper, with the bookmakers expecting a comfortable home performance. Away from the match-result market, our model's attention turns to the goals market, recommending Under 3.5 goals at 1.6. That price implies a 62.5% break-even probability, though the model's own confidence sits at 59%, and the calculated edge is slightly negative. No standout value picks emerged elsewhere in the match-result market relative to the odds on offer.
Verdict: Under 3.5 goals at 1.6 is the model's lead suggestion, backed by 59% confidence, but the negative edge of roughly -6% means it is not flagged as statistically favourable. Treat it as a measured, moderate-risk option rather than a clear value bet, and size stakes accordingly.
