Botafogo FR welcome Fluminense on Sunday, Aug 9 at 5:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Botafogo FR come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Fluminense, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours Botafogo FR here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Fluminense. Their last encounter ended in Botafogo FR won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Botafogo FR a slight edge, but Fluminense are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
