Botafogo FR desperately need points on Sunday, Nov 22 at 4:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Botafogo FR come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Sao Paulo, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Botafogo FR head into this on the back of a defeat, while Sao Paulo arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 10 previous meetings, Botafogo FR lead 3–1 with 6 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Botafogo FR a slight edge, but Sao Paulo are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
