The Brazilian soccer season started in January, but we already have a cup match in February. It's the Supercopa do Brasil Rei, between the winners of the Brazilian Championship, Botafogo, and the winners of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo. As if that weren't enough, there's also the rivalry between the two teams from Rio de Janeiro.
The match will be played on February 2nd at the Mangueirão stadium in Pará, a neutral ground. Of course, the main sportsbooks in Brazil have good markets for this match. Since it's a one-off, in addition to betting on the winner of the match, it's also possible to bet on which team will be crowned champions. To help you with your bets, I've put together some good opportunities offered by the bookmakers. Check them out below!
Top predictions for Botafogo vs. Flamengo
It's a championship final, so of course the teams are feeling the pressure. Botafogo won the Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa Libertadores, and while they didn't do as well in the Club World Cup, they're still a force to be reckoned with. The Albiceleste have only played the first team once in 2025, so they're still finding their rhythm, but that just means there's more room for improvement!
Flamengo started their pre-season with a 0-0 draw against São Paulo, and they've since played two matches in the Campeonato Carioca. They'll be in better shape for the final, as, unlike the General Severiano side, they have a coach and have been training for longer.
To win the cup
Betano's market is not only to win the match, but to be crowned champion. The odds are 2.25 for Botafogo and 1.65 for Flamengo. These aren't bad odds to bet on, but in any case, betting on a win in regulation time could bring a bigger profit, with 3.25 for those betting on Botafogo and 2.30 for those betting on Flamengo.
Another market with high odds and good chances is betting on a 1-goal win. At Betano, the odd for Botafogo to win by exactly one goal is 4.70, while the odd for Flamengo to win by exactly one goal is 3.90. A good opportunity to increase your winnings.
Number of goals
If you don't want to risk either team winning, an attractive market for the final is the number of goals. With strong attacks and quality players, the two teams end 2024 as one of the most efficient attacks in the country.
For this reason, Superbet has good markets for 1st half total goals over 1.5, with an odd of 3.10. In other words, if the first half ends with 2 goals, you win.
In any case, if you don't want to risk betting on just one half, the market for total goals over 2.5 at Esporte da Sorte has an odd of 2.15. In other words, the game must have 3 or more goals to win.
Superbet has two markets that can be very lucrative, but are very specific to a football match. One of them is Shots on Goal. The odds on 2 or more balls hitting the post in a match is 6.30. For a team to hit the post twice or more, the odd is 10. This is an option for those who like to take their chances with possible high winnings.
