Botafogo FR desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 11 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Coritiba come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Botafogo FR travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Coritiba won their last outing, while Botafogo FR suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Coritiba face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Botafogo FR have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

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