Preview

Match preview

Botafogo host RB Bragantino at the Estadio Nilton Santos in round 27 of Serie A, looking to bridge the four-point gap between the sides in the league table. The hosts sit 14th with 31 points from 25 matches, while Bragantino occupy 9th place with 35 points in the Copa Sudamericana qualification places.

The historical record strongly favours the Rio de Janeiro side, with Botafogo having won seven of the last ten encounters between these clubs, including all four meetings staged on their home ground. However, both teams enter this fixture seeking stability after mixed runs of form over recent weeks.

Botafogo will have to manage without suspended forward Arthur Cabral and injured defenders J. Barrera and Kaio Pantaleao. Meanwhile, RB Bragantino travel without suspended defender Alix Vinicius and injured options Davi Gomes and Vanderlan, creating potential vulnerabilities in both backlines.

RB Bragantino enter this match on the back of consecutive league defeats against Sao Paulo and Bahia, having conceded five goals across those two outings. With Botafogo averaging 1.7 goals scored per home match, they are well-placed to secure at least a point on home soil.

Yes — 64% confidence

Both teams to score has landed in 60 percent of the last ten meetings between these sides. RB Bragantino have managed to find the net in each of their last five matches, while Botafogo have conceded 17 goals across 12 home matches in the league. With both sides missing key defensive personnel through suspension and injury, chances are likely to appear at both ends.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and both teams to score), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
