At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins in the last 3 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 04‑10‑2018, in a match for the Copa Sudamericana, Bahia won by (4‑5), after a penalti shootout. The goals of the match were scored by Rodrigo Pimpão (26' ) and Luiz Fernando (40' ), for Botafogo, and by Edigar Junio (33' ), for Bahia.

In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Vasco da Gama, by (1‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Ceará, by (0‑0).

Botafogo has already conquered the Brazilian Serie A Championship title, the most recent title being conquered in 1995, as well as a Serie B title conquered in 2015. The team has been making a poor campaign in the current season, conquering only 35 of the 87 points played so far, thus being in the middle of the table, but only four points behind the first team in the relegation zone. In four of the last five games that Botafogo played at home, counting more than the national championship, were scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match, by playing at home, Botafogo will make another game with more than 1.5 goals, having the quality to take advantage of the opponent's weakness to score goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Saulo, Marcinho, Gilson, Marcelo Benevenuto, Igor Rabello, Jean, Rodrigo Lindoso, Gustavo Bochecha, Rodrigo Pimpão, Kieza, Luiz Fernando.

Bahia will have a match against Atletico Paranaense four days after the confrontation against Botafogo for the Copa Sudamericana, but it should not spare many players as both teams must win to stay away from the relegation zone. We expect a busy game between Botafogo and Bahia, with both teams attacking and seeking goals.
