Botafogo aim to end home drought against Grêmio | OneFootball

This Saturday, Botafogo takes the field to face Grêmio, seeking a victory to secure their spot in the G5 of the Brasileirão. However, against the team from Rio Grande do Sul, the Glorious will have to end a seven-year winless streak as hosts.

The last victory for the team from Rio at home against Grêmio was in 2018, when they won 2-1 in a match valid for the first round of that year's Brazilian Championship.

Since then, there have been four matches at Botafogo's home, with one draw and three victories for the team from Rio Grande do Sul. One of these matches, in particular, remains fresh in the memory of Botafogo fans.

In 2023, when the Glorious were fighting for the Brasileirão title, the clubs faced each other at Nilton Santos, and the team from Rio suffered a comeback, losing 4-3 in a match that would be crucial in determining the championship, won by Palmeiras. The game featured a hat-trick by Luis Suárez, giving Grêmio the victory.

Standings Situation

Botafogo is in fifth place with 55 points, one point ahead of Fluminense and two ahead of Bahia, who are closely trailing the team led by Davide Ancelotti for a direct spot in the Libertadores group stage.
