Botafogo and Gremio meet tomorrow at Estádio Nilton Santos with only four points separating them in Serie A. Botafogo sit 14th on 32 points, while 16th-placed Gremio arrive on 28 after 26 games each.

What's at stake

A Botafogo win would increase the gap to seven points and strengthen their position above Gremio in the lower half of the table. A Gremio victory would cut that difference to one point, while both clubs remain far from leaders Flamengo, who have 57 points—25 clear of Botafogo and 29 ahead of Gremio.

The numbers

Botafogo’s home record offers a mixed picture: 4 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, with 21 goals scored and 18 conceded in 13 games. Gremio’s away record is weaker, with 0 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses, six goals scored and 19 conceded across 13 trips.

Recent results point to pressure on both teams. Botafogo’s last five matches, listed from most recent, are Draw, Draw, Loss, Loss and Loss; Gremio’s are Loss, Loss, Win, Loss and Loss. Botafogo have scored 38 goals overall and conceded 41, while Gremio have scored 28 and allowed 35.

One to watch

Carlos Vinícius is Gremio’s leading scorer among the players listed for this fixture, with 10 goals and one assist in 25 appearances. Botafogo’s Danilo Santos and Arthur Cabral have seven goals each, in 19 and 21 appearances respectively, giving the hosts two established scoring options.

Why it matters

The match gives Botafogo the chance to protect their four-point advantage at home, but three players—K. Barria, N. Ferraresi and Kaio Pantaleao—are unavailable. Gremio must address an away run without a win in 13 games, and Dodi, Marlon and Pedro Gabriel are also listed as unavailable before Wednesday’s 22:30 UTC kickoff.
