*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Things have not gone swimmingly for Atletico Mineiro in recent weeks. They are without a win in their last 10 matches, with four draws and six defeats.
Interestingly, this isn't Atletico Mineiro's first appearance in a Copa Libertadores final, as they were the winners of this competition in 2013. However, Botafogo will play in a Copa Libertadores final for the first time this weekend.
Considering Atletico MG’s recent struggles, Botafogo are the expected winners at 11/10 (2.10). Teams with these odds usually have a 47.6% probability of winning.

Most recent H2Hs: A fairly one-sided contest

Player to watch: Jefferson Savarino
Jefferson Savarino's goal and assist were enough to secure a crucial victory over Palmeiras earlier this week, a win which has almost guaranteed Botafogo their first Serie A title since 1995. The Venezuelan midfielder will be called upon to provide the goals against his former team this weekend.
