Botafogo RJ vs Coritiba prediction (1x2)

Game between two teams that have different goals in the later rounds in the league. Botafogo is in fifth position with 53 points and the goal is to qualify for Libertadores 2017. While this Coritiba in fifteenth position, only 3 points away from the relegation zone. Botafogo is in great form in recent games, has improved a lot after starting the season horribly, and is currently one of the most consistent teams consider the last 12 rounds. Are 9 wins and 3 draws in last 12 games, with 2 of the 3 losses were on the road against strong teams like Atletico MG and Cruzeiro. The team has the most mainly players available, only the doubts about the possible absence of Airton and Diogo Barbosa by injury problems. And it is possible to Sassa (top scorer) return for team. Coritiba is not in good shape, six games without a win and with only 2 wins in last 10 games. The team has problems with injury and suspension; Luccas Claro (D) is injured, Nery Bareiro (D) also this injured and possibly this out, Juan (M) which is a very experienced and tactically important player for team also is in doubt and will be reassessed by the medical department moments before the game, and Kleber (A) one of the main scorer and very experienced player is suspended. The medical department is concerned with the physical wear of some players, then there are chances of some more players don't play against Botafogo. Or if they play, certainly will not be with the physical conditions considered ideal for the game. Add the fact that the team played midweek against Atlético Nacional in Colombia and obviously it negatively influences the physical part, while Botafogo had a full week to prepare for the game. Botafogo is in a sequence of five consecutive victories against great teams, and playing consistently all these games. The team is very close to achieving qualification for the Libertadores in 2017, and this type situation is hard to imagine that Botafogo lose points against a weaker opponent and with some absences of important players. In my opinion Botafogo wins the game.
