Racing Club vs Botafogo Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

At betting odds of -118, the bookies make Racing Club probable winners and there’s a 54% likelihood that the favourites triumph in this Copa Sudamericana encounter. Botafogo are the +350 outsiders, with the draw being a different option which could yield dividends.

Racing are -119 when it comes to the Asian Handicap -0.5 which is the same as backing them on the 1x2 market. If you instead want to bet on Botafogo +0.5 at -109, you also get paid out if it’s a draw.

A low-scoring contest will be anticipated by many and Under 2.5 Goals currently has the shortest odds. An alternative angle is a BTTS bet and Both Teams to Score No is available at -130.
