Botafogo made his debut with the victory in group B of the Super World Club Super World chatting Seattle Sounders 2-1, with goals by Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus, in a match held on Saturday (15), at 23h (Brasilia Time) in the United States. This result, in addition to being important in terms of punctuation, has positioned the Severian general team with concrete possibilities to advance at the 16 in advance.




The game against PSG can seal the classification

Next Thursday (19), at 22h (Brasilia Time), Botafogo will face PSG at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. If you win the French club, the Rio team will reach the six points. This number may be enough to guarantee the classification of the 16 round, provided that there is a draw in the clash between Atletico Madrid and Seattle Sounders, scheduled for the glorious duel.

“If Botafogo beats PSG and there is equality between Seattle and Atletico, the team will be mathematically in the 16th round of 16,” said journalist Luiz Eduardo Cunha de Carvalho. The possibility, although it depends on a combination, is considered plausible, especially on the unstable performances of the Spanish team to debut.

Group situation and subsequent games

The PSG leads the key and is considered one of the favorites, but the team led by Renato Paiva can continue in the dispute for a direct elimination place even in the event of defeat. “The victory in the first round was crucial,” said Bolavip Brasil’s analysis.

The third and last round of the group stage will be Sunday (23), at 16h (Brasilia Time), when all the teams will take the field simultaneously. Botafogo will face Atletico Madrid, again at Rose Bowl, in a clash that can be decisive if the Rio team does not confirm the early classification.

Another game can be decisive, according to the evaluation

Although many indicate the clash against Atletico as a decisive for Botafogo, the analyzes indicate that the game between Seattle and Atletico can be even more decisive. This is due to the irregular defensive performance of the Spaniards and Seattle Sounders to make games difficult, as shown in front of Botafogo himself.

“Seattle’s performance against Botafogo has shown to be able to surprise Atletico. If the Americans win or bind, the scenario changes completely,” said Manell’s blog.

Conclusion: Botafogo depends on you, but the combinations help

With three points won, Botafogo can guarantee a place in the 16 round in advance if he defeats the PSG and sees a draw among the direct competitors. Otherwise, he will decide his luck against Atletico.

However, “he shouldn’t throw the towel in front of the French,” said the specialized blog. After all, a victory over the European champion not only ranking, but morally strengthens the group for future challenges.
