Recent meetings between Botafogo and Vasco finely balanced, check it out | OneFootball

Botafogo and Vasco take the field this Wednesday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos, for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams have shown balance in recent classics and promise to stage another great duel.

In the last ten matches played, Vasco holds a slight advantage, with a 50% success rate, while Botafogo has 40%. In total, there are four victories for the Gigante da Colina, three draws, and three triumphs for the Glorioso.

Decisive Duels

Besides the balance, the recent decisions further increase the importance of the confrontation. The last two encounters between the teams were valid for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. After two draws, Vasco overcame Botafogo on penalties.

In the Brasileirão, the clubs face each other again in another decisive moment. While Botafogo seeks to maintain the sixth position, within the Libertadores qualification zone, Vasco needs to win to get closer to the G6. Currently, the Gigante da Colina is in ninth place, with 42 points, while the Glorioso has 48.

Recent Form

Both teams arrive in similar situations for the duel. Despite not losing in three matches (Ceará, Santos, and Mirassol), Botafogo has been fluctuating and sees the classic as an opportunity to regain good form.

On the other hand, Vasco comes from a defeat to São Paulo, but before that, had won four consecutive games—against Vitória, Fortaleza, Fluminense, and Red Bull Bragantino.
