Match preview: Botafogo vs São Paulo

Botafogo and São Paulo will meet at the Nilton Santos Stadium for the 4th round of the Brasileirão Serie A. Historically, the stadium favours the home team, which has secured 3 wins and 1 draw from their last 4 encounters. The last time these sides met at this location was on 8 December 2024, when Botafogo triumphed 2-1, with goals from Jefferson Savarino and Gregore, while William Gomes found the net for São Paulo.

Team analysis: Botafogo

Currently 9th in the league, Botafogo has accrued 4 points from 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 defeat. They won their previous home match against Youth 2-0 but suffered a narrow defeat to Bragantino away from home. The team has experienced a mixed bag at home recently, with 5 wins and 5 losses from their last 10 competitive home matches. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding goals in 7 of their last 10 outings, while their attack has been blunt, failing to score in the same number of games. In 15 games, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never managed to recover from that position. Notably, of their 27 goals scored in their last 20 home games, 11 were netted in the final 15 minutes.

After their defeat to RB Bragantino, Botafogo will be eager to respond positively in front of their home crowd. They will need to address their attacking consistency and shift the pressure by securing their first points of the season at home.

Team analysis: São Paulo

São Paulo currently sits in 15th place with just 2 points after three draws. Their last match ended in a 1-1 draw with Cruzeiro at home, and they previously managed a goalless draw against Atlético Mineiro away. Their recent away form shows 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses across their last 10 encounters. Notably, they have conceded 8 of their 18 goals in the last 20 away games between the minutes of 31 and 45.

Following their balanced but uninspiring draw against Cruzeiro, São Paulo understands that improvement is necessary to climb the league table. In facing Botafogo, they will need to increase their intensity and focus on maintaining possession to challenge the home side effectively.
