Botafogo FR welcome Athletico Paranaense on Sunday, Aug 23 at 5:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Botafogo FR come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Athletico Paranaense, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
In 10 previous meetings, Botafogo FR lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Botafogo FR won 1–4.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Botafogo FR a slight edge, but Athletico Paranaense are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
