Prediction

  • The greatest prize in South American club football is up for grabs here as Atletico Mineiro and Botafogo battle it out in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires.
  • Atletico Mineiro earned their place in the final with a comfortable 3-0 aggregate victory over River Plate. Since that match, however, their form has been horrendous, which has seen them lose a Copa do Brasil final against Flamengo and in the league, they are winless since October. Galo have not won since the Copa Libertadores first-leg and must simply up their game if they are to lift what would be their second South American title.
  • On the other hand, Botafogo are having a much brighter period as they sit on top of the Brasileirao following thier impressive 3-1 victory over Palmeiras away from home on Tuesday evening, a result that puts the destiny of the title back in their hands. Since their 6-3 aggregate win over Penarol, they are unbeaten in five matches, though three of them have been draws, including one against Atletico Mineiro on the road.
  • Galo have been terrible of late and form can often go out of the window in finals. However, Fogo will feel they have the upper hand coming into this one.
