A Difficult Year

Arthur Cabral joined Botafogo in June, signed for 12 million euros (R$ 74 million) from Benfica. Despite being signed for a high amount, the former Ceará and Palmeiras striker is experiencing the phase of the Glorioso, which is having a below-par season after the 2024 titles.

However, even with the tough phase, the striker stands out for his performance in the Clássico da Amizade. Since joining Botafogo, he has faced Vasco three times and scored in two of those matches.

The center forward wasn't 100% fit in the last matches, playing only a few minutes against Santos and Mirassol. Now, against Vasco, it is expected that Davide Ancelotti will field Arthur Cabral or Chris Ramos as the offensive reference.

Botafogo and Vasco face each other this Wednesday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Nilton Santos stadium, for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão 2025.
