Botafogo SP Eyes Another Win Against CRB in Serie B Clash

Botafogo SP will host CRB at the Santa Cruz stadium in a Brazil Serie B encounter on Wednesday. Following their recent upturn in form, Botafogo SP is eager to capitalize on the momentum they've built. Having narrowly avoided relegation last season, the team is focused on ensuring a smoother journey this year. Recent victories, including a hard-fought 1-0 win against Ceara, signal a positive shift for the Sao Paulo-based side. This marks their first back-to-back wins since April, providing a morale boost.

Botafogo's home form has been particularly encouraging, with only one defeat in their last four home fixtures. In contrast, CRB is struggling to find their footing. Despite a promising start in May, recent performances have been disappointing. Their latest outing ended in a 1-1 draw against Fortaleza, extending their poor run to just two points from four games.

CRB's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, with no clean sheets in their last six Serie B matches, including a 3-2 loss to Sao Bernardo. With CRB's last trip to Santa Cruz resulting in a 2-1 defeat, Botafogo will aim to exploit this trend. The current form disparity suggests Botafogo is well-positioned to secure another victory.
