Sport Recife
There are still five matches left to be played in Brazil’s Serie A, but this fixture stands out as one of the most favorable opportunities for Botafogo to secure three points at home.
They are pushing for a top-5 finish, which guarantees direct qualification to next season’s Copa Libertadores, and that target is within reach, just one point away.
Today they face an opponent completely out of form, already relegated, and with nothing meaningful to play for. Sport Recife also picked up two red cards in their previous match, further weakening their situation.
What we say
Botafogo RJ to Win
Botafogo ranks among the top home teams in the league, earning 29 points from 16 matches. On the other side, Sport Recife is the worst away team in Serie A, collecting only 7 points with a poor 9:28 goal difference.
With greater motivation, a stronger record, and three wins in the last four head-to-head meetings, Botafogo enters this match as a clear and deserved favorite.
