Personal analysis: Palmeiras is an offensive team. In the offense in the frontcourt, it mainly relies on the personal breakthrough ability of the two wing forwards to organize the offense. Among them, Estevan on the right is the main ball-holding breakthrough point. His personal ability to get rid of and distribute the ball is relatively outstanding, and his range of activities on the field is also relatively large. Torres and Paulinho on the left are slightly weaker in breakthrough ability. Lopez and Mauricio in the center position are basically negative and shoot. Both of them are not strong in ball-holding ability. The players in the backcourt of the team are basically defensive, and the midfielder's ability to support the offense is weak. The two full-backs have a certain ability to participate in the offense, but it is not outstanding. There are not many problems with marking and blocking in positional defense, but there are many cases of missing people when the tempo is fast, especially the two central defenders are not strong in speed. Botafogo's offense and defense level is relatively balanced. The team has offensive capabilities in all three lanes of the frontcourt. Whether it is mobile warfare or positional warfare, it is mainly based on overall passing and control. Most of the players on the front line have good technical ability at their feet. The two forwards, Savarino and Arthur, have a certain ability to hold the ball and organize offense. The two cooperate more with the full-backs on both sides. Jesus in the middle is more used as a counterattack point and a finishing point in the penalty area. The team's defensive ability in the midfield and backcourt is not inferior to that of the teams in the top five leagues. The overall formation and rhythm control ability of the back line are relatively strong. Several defenders have considerable ball-holding ability. They are relatively calm in the face of high-pressure tactics, especially the two central defenders have achieved a balance in height and speed. Most forwards will not suffer in one-on-one defense.

Palmeiras and Botafogo are both teams in the Brazilian League. They are relatively familiar with each other. The overall strength gap between the two teams is not large, but there are still great differences in their playing styles on the field. The former focuses more on using wing breakthroughs to create opportunities, while Botafogo prefers to use passing and control to find opponents' gaps to find offensive opportunities. Botafogo has more ball-holding points and end points in the midfield and frontcourt, and Botafogo is also more solid in defense. In this game, Palmeiras' 0.25 goal handicap is normal, which is basically a basic support based on the league rankings of the two teams. Judging from the data, the tendency towards a draw is higher. Lao Li believes that if the strength gap is not big, Botafogo with better rhythm ability will have a greater chance of winning. He is optimistic about Botafogo +0.25 win option, and the score is mostly 1-1 or 0-1.
