Botafogo host São Paulo in Serie A on Monday evening at Estádio Nilton Santos.
Recent form is mixed, with two wins, two draws and one defeat in the last five; São Paulo drew 0–0 at home to Corinthians last time out. They have 44 points from 34 league games (W12 D8 L14), with 39 scored and 39 let in. The visitors have taken ten points from 17 away games, letting in 26.
Botafogo have won 11, drawn nine and lost 14 of their 34 league games this season, scoring 46 and conceding 53. The hosts have two wins from their last five in all competitions and won 1–0 at home to Atlético Mineiro in their latest game. At home, they have won seven of 17, scoring 27 and conceding 22.
The last two meetings at Estádio Nilton Santos have brought one home win, one draw and no away wins.
The AI makes a 1–0 win for Botafogo the most likely result, although it also leans towards both teams scoring. That fits the season so far: both teams have found the net in most of either side's league games. Exact scores are hard to call, so treat it as the likely shape of the game rather than a certainty.
