Cuiaba desperately need points on Saturday, Aug 29 at 5:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Botafogo SP come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Cuiaba travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Botafogo SP face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Cuiaba have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Botafogo SP clear favorites, but Cuiaba have shown they can grind out results. Expect Botafogo SP to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
