Historically, the visiting team has a favourable record at this stadium, with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 11 encounters.

Team analysis: Botafogo
The home side currently sits 15th in the standings, having accrued just 5 points from 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew 2-2 at home against Sao Paulo. Their last fixture resulted in a narrow loss away to Atlético Mineiro (1-0). They approach this match following a defeat to Estudiantes (1-0). Botafogo has recorded 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses in their previous 10 home games across all competitions. They typically struggle to break the deadlock, having only managed to score first in 3 out of their last 15 matches. Moreover, they have never been able to turn around a scoreline in the 11 games where they conceded the first goal. A notable pattern in the last 20 home matches shows that 12 of their 27 goals have come between the 76th and 90th minutes.
Following a managerial change, Botafogo is still seeking to gain ground in the Brasileirão. They are experiencing a rough patch, having gone three matches without a win, and need to target a victory against Fluminense, who are currently on a positive run. In front of their home fans, they must avoid the errors that have cost them crucial points this season.
Team analysis: Fluminense
The visitors are positioned 4th in the league, having gathered 10 points from 3 victories, 1 draw, and 1 loss. In their penultimate outing, they triumphed over Corinthians (2-0) away from home, but their last match ended in a 1-1 draw against Vitória at home. Most recently, they drew 1-1 against Unión Española in the South American Bridgestone Cup. In their last 10 away games, Fluminense has won 5, drawn 3, and lost 2. They have consistently found the net, scoring in 4 of their last 5 matches in the league. A worrying trend in their last 20 away matches is the fact that they have conceded 7 out of their 17 goals during the final 15 minutes of matches.
After a controversial match involving officiating, Fluminense come into this round of Brasileirão with renewed motivation. They are riding a strong wave of results, and the recent coaching change appears to have revitalised the squad. If they maintain their level of performance from recent fixtures, they stand a good chance of securing a positive outcome against Botafogo, even in an away setting.
