Botafogo v Sport: how to watch and kick-off time, Brasileirão MD34 | OneFootball

In the game that opens the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship, Botafogo hosts Sport this Tuesday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Nilton Santos, needing a victory to shorten the distance to the group that guarantees a spot in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.

Where to watch?

The game will be broadcast on Prime Video (Streaming).

How is Botafogo doing?

With 52 points and coming from a goalless draw with Vitória in Bahia, Botafogo aims to mathematically secure at least a spot in the preliminary phase of the continental tournament. However, just one point behind Bahia, which closes the qualification zone for the group stage, the idea is to fight to advance directly to this stage of the Libertadores.

“The expectation is to impose ourselves in our stadium as we did against Vasco in the last game in Rio (3-0 victory). Also, to take advantage of opportunities,” said Botafogo's coach Davide Ancelotti.

For this game, Botafogo will repeat the lineup from the previous match. Forward Jordan Barrera, recovered from injury, will be available on the bench.

How is Sport doing?

On Sport's side, the mood is of deep sadness. The management apologized to the fans after the 5-1 defeat to Flamengo in the last round. Already relegated, the club will now start preparing for the 2026 Série B.

For this game, Sport lost right-back Matheus Alexandre and defender Ramon Menezes, both sent off against Flamengo. Igor Cariús will play improvised on the right, and Riquelme, negotiated with Glorioso itself, takes the place in defense.

Match history

The teams have faced each other 40 times, with 19 victories for Glorioso, 10 draws, and 11 wins for Sport.
