Currently, Botafogo is undefeated in their last three matches against Boavista, with two wins and one draw. The last defeat happened in January 2024, when Glorioso’s reserves lost 1-0, with a goal by Sheldon, in a match valid for the first phase of the Carioca.

Botafogo is seeking a win to put an end to their poor run this season. Glorioso has lost their last six matches (Fluminense [2x], Grêmio, Vasco, Flamengo, and Nacional Potosí-BOL).

Boavista and Botafogo face each other this Saturday, at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), in the first leg of the Taça Rio semifinal. The match will be played at Estádio Elcyr Resende de Mendonça, in Saquarema (RJ).
