Botafogo head into Round 4 in decent nick, taking three wins from their last five across all competitions and scoring in every one of those games. Vitoria arrive with six absentees on the injury list, a squad depth problem that will test their ability to compete for ninety minutes at a hostile ground. The model puts Botafogo's win probability at 57 per cent, with the draw a distant 20.
The goals data is the clearest signal here. Both sides hit over 2.5 in four of their last five matches, and the model puts the probability of a high-scoring game at 68 per cent. The market price of 1.80 implies roughly 56 per cent, leaving a visible edge. Vitoria conceded in four of their last five and kept just one clean sheet, while Botafogo scored in all five.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.80 is the play. The injury crisis in the Vitoria camp reduces their defensive organisation, and both teams have shown a consistent appetite for goals in recent weeks. Confidence sits at 3: the form-and-goals case is solid, but the single h2h meeting gives no additional backing.
