Game Information

Sunday 1st June 2025 – (Kick Off 20:00)

Santos

Santos currently sit in the bottom four of the Brasileirão with 8 points from 10 matches, having recorded 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 defeats. However, last weekend brought a much-needed boost, as Peixe secured a 1-0 victory over Vitória thanks to a first-half goal from Guilherme, a crucial three points to get their season back on track. In midweek, Santos played a mid-season friendly against German side RB Leipzig, suffering a 3-1 defeat. While the result was disappointing, it came in a non-competitive setting, and the focus now firmly returns to league action. Santos will be aiming to build on last weekend’s win and begin climbing the table.

Botafogo

Botafogo come into this match unbeaten in their last two league outings, with a win and a draw. Most recently in the league, they played out a goalless draw against Flamengo in a hard-fought derby. Last time out in domestic football, they suffered a 1-0 loss to Capital in the Copa do Brasil, though they still advanced to the next round comfortably with a 4-1 aggregate win.

That loss came with a heavily rotated squad, as Botafogo had one eye on their crucial midweek Copa Libertadores clash with Universidad de Chile. Despite going down to 10 men after a reckless challenge from midfielder Jair, Botafogo held firm and secured a 1-0 victory thanks to a first-half goal from Igor Jesus. The result booked their place in the knockout stages, finishing second in the group.

Fogo’s focus now shifts back to the league. They currently sit 11th, with a game in hand on some of the sides above them, and will be hoping to build momentum with another positive result.

Prediction – Santos 0-1 Botafogo
