Botafogo vs Flamengo Prediction and Betting Tips | February 2nd 2025

The State Stadium Edgar Augusto Proença plays host to the 2025 Supercopa do Brasil final as Botafogo and Flamengo go head-to-head on Sunday. This fixture, which marks the start of the new Brazilian football season, pits the reigning Serie A champions against the previous winners of the Copa de Brasil, and we anticipate a thrilling matchup in Belem.

Botafogo secured back-to-back wins for the first time since the turn of the year last Thursday when they edged out Fluminense 2-1 in the Carioca Serie A.

This followed a comfortable 2-0 victory over Bangu at the Olympic Stadium on January 26, a result which saw their run of two consecutive defeats come to an end.

Botafogo now stand the chance to clinch their first piece of silverware for the year on Sunday, having clinched the 2024 Brasileiro title with 79 points from 38 matches.

Flamengo, on the other hand, have made it to the Supercopa do Brasil final having secured a 4-1 aggregate victory over Atletico Mineiro back in November to clinch the Copa do Brasil title.

Filipe Luis' men head into the weekend fresh off the back of securing a 2-0 victory over Sampaio Correa at the Maracana in the Carioca Serie A on Friday.

Flamengo are on a run of three consecutive victories, scoring nine goals and keeping three clean sheets, and will be looking to extend this impressive streak on Sunday.
