In their most recent clash on 07‑01-2025, Railway emerged victorious with a score of 1-0.

Team analysis: Railway
The home side currently occupies 13th place, securing 11 points from 2 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses. Their penultimate match ended in a 1-1 draw against Avaí, followed by a 2-0 defeat to Goiás. Railway performs significantly better at home, having accrued 8 points from 12 available in their last four home matches, consisting of 2 wins and 2 draws.
In this competition, they are unbeaten at home for the last 4 matches. However, they have struggled to take the lead, having scored first only once in their last 9 Serie B matches. Notably, they have conceded the first goal 6 times, managing to come back only once. In their last 13 home games across all competitions, 7 of their 18 goals were scored in the final 15 minutes of matches (76’–90′).
Despite some ups and downs this season, Railway continues to perform consistently in Serie B. Their ability to find the net regularly at home has helped them distance themselves from the lower ranks of the table. As they aim to secure a win against Botafogo SP, it’s crucial for them to remain focused, given Botafogo SP’s ongoing struggles.
Team analysis: Botafogo SP
The visiting side sits at 19th place, with only 5 points garnered from 2 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses. In their second to last match, they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Operário PR, but bounced back with a 2-1 win at home against CRB. Interestingly, they have performed better away, collecting 3 points as visitors compared to just 2 at their home ground. In their last four matches away from home, Botafogo SP managed only 1 win and lost 3 times, earning just 3 points from a possible 12. Their defensive struggles are quite evident, conceding at least one goal in all of their last 9 league matches. In these 9 games, they only managed one comeback after conceding first. Of note, in their last 11 away matches across all competitions, they scored 3 of their 8 goals during the period of 61’–75′.
Botafogo SP desperately needs a boost in the Serie B standings. Since the start of the season, they have faced significant tactical challenges and must rectify mistakes that have adversely affected their results, particularly when playing away. Improving their overall approach will be vital if they hope to surprise Railway, who has been performing well at home.
