Botafogo will make its debut in the 2024 Club World Cup this Wednesday (11), in Doha, Qatar. The Rio team will represent South America in the competition, which brings together the champions from six continents. Alvinegro’s opponent will be Pachuca, from Mexico, current winner of the Concaf Champions League.
The debut promises to be a great challenge for the team, which is coming off significant achievements this season. Botafogo is the current champion of Conmebol Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship, titles that gave morale to the team. Under the command of Portuguese coach Arthur Jorge, the team arrives with full strength for the dispute. The coach has all his main players available, which increases expectations even further.
Botafogo favoritism
The Botafogo squad is considered the big favorite for this clash. Thus, with a winning streak and two major titles, the Rio team has the support of bookmakers, who point to the team as the likely winner. But it’s worth remembering that Botafogo‘s last defeat happened more than two months ago, against Peñarol, in October.
On the other hand, Pachuca is going through a complicated phase. Despite being the Concaf Champions League champion, the Mexican team has not won for over a month and occupies a worrying position in the 2024/25 Apertura Championship, where it is in 16th place. But the club’s turbulent moment meant that Pachuca was considered an underdog in the dispute.
