Palmeiras aim to end four-year hoodoo against Botafogo | OneFootball

This Wednesday, Palmeiras faces Botafogo at 7 PM (Brasília time), in a match valid for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship, at Allianz Parque. To win, Verdão will need to break an uncomfortable taboo: the Alviverde hasn't beaten the Rio team at home since 2022.

Stone in the shoe

The last victory of Palmeiras at Allianz Parque against Botafogo was on June 9, 2022, in a match valid for the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, Verdão won 4-0 with goals scored by Rony (2), Gustavo Scarpa, and Wesley.

In 2023, in the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship, the Alviverde lost to the Rio team 1-0, with Raphael Veiga missing a penalty. That year, the teams fought for the top of the table throughout the Championship, which ended up being won by the São Paulo team.

In 2024, the teams also faced each other in the Libertadores, in the round of 16. The result of the return match was a 2-2 draw, but Botafogo had won the first leg 2-1 and advanced. In the Brazilian Championship, in the 36th round, the teams were competing point by point for the title. Away from home, Botafogo defeated Palmeiras 3-1 and practically secured the competition victory.
