Vitoria welcome Botafogo FR on Sunday, Aug 16 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.
Vitoria come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Botafogo FR travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Vitoria face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Botafogo FR have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Vitoria a slight edge, but Botafogo FR are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
