Botafogo SP desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 17 at 5:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

CRB come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Botafogo SP travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours CRB here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Botafogo SP, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in CRB won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

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