Botafogo and Internacional play at Nilton Santos Stadium, in a match of the 8th round of Brasileirão Serie A. The history of direct confrontations at this stadium favours the home team, which has won 2 of the last 3 meetings while losing just 1. Indeed, in their last encounter at this ground in the Brasileirão on 20‑07-2024, Botafogo secured a victory by (1-0), with Luiz Henrique (38 ′) scoring the only goal of the match. Special attention to the home/away condition is necessary, as both teams exhibit significantly different results in their home and away performances.
Team analysis: Botafogo
After 2 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, the home team is currently in 12th position with 8 points. In their last match, they lost to Bahia (1‑0), having previously secured a 2‑0 victory at home against Fluminense. This team is affected by the home factor, being considerably stronger in front of their own fans. Their record over the last 30 matches as visitors includes 4 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses, with 9 goals scored and 14 conceded. In contrast, at home, they have achieved 8 wins, 1 draw, and suffered 6 losses, scoring 23 and conceding 18 goals. They enter this fixture after defeating Carabobo 1‑2. Over the last 10 home games across all competitions, Botafogo has recorded 6 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Notably, in 15 games, they have never managed to overturn the score after conceding the first goal in 9 occasions. A prominent trend in their last 20 home matches across all competitions reveals that 15 of their 33 goals were scored between minutes 76′ and 90′.
Pressure mounts on Botafogo owing to recent disappointing results, and they are acutely aware of the need to rediscover their winning form. As they play at home, they will aim to assert their dominance and regain control in the early stages. The team knows they must be more efficient offensively and tighten their defensive play to avoid being caught off guard. Despite some fluctuations in performance, the advantage of playing at home could prove beneficial in their pursuit of three points. A victory is deemed essential to alleviate pressure and improve their standing in the league.
Team analysis: Internacional
The away team currently sits in 9th place with 9 points, stemming from 2 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses. In their penultimate match, they secured a home victory against Youth (3‑1). However, in their last encounter, they succumbed to a 4‑2 defeat away to Corinthians. Domestic performance has been pivotal for this team, with their record in the last 30 fixtures as visitors showing 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses, achieving a total of 21 goals scored and 20 conceded. On the other hand, their home record includes 11 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, with an impressive tally of 31 goals scored and just 9 conceded. They arrive at this match following a 3‑1 defeat to Atletico Nacional. In the league, Internacional has only managed to gather 3 points from a possible 12, with 3 draws and 1 loss in their last four away encounters.
In this competition, they have not won any of their last four matches away from home. The team has conceded goals in 5 of their last 7 matches, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, although their attack has consistently delivered, managing to score in 5 of the last 7 fixtures in this competition. There is a trend of fewer goals in their away games, with less than 3 goals scored in 20 of their last 32 outings. In 15 matches, they have achieved only 2 comebacks after conceding the first goal in 8 instances.
Internacional, also coming off a defeat, understands the urgency of responding immediately in the Brasileirão. With just one point separating them from their opponent, they recognise that minor details could determine the outcome of the match. When playing away, they are likely to adopt a more cautious approach initially, seeking to exploit any gaps left by their rivals. The team must maintain greater consistency in both attack and defence while avoiding individual mistakes. While a draw could be seen as acceptable, their primary aim remains securing all three points. A focus on concentration and making the most of created opportunities will be essential.
