Botafogo take on the visitors Fluminense in the round 14 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, June 26th at Estadio Olimpico Nilton Santos (Rio de Janeiro).
Botafogo only returned to Serie A at the end of last season. The Lone Star spent the most of the 21st century in Brasileirao. But from time to time the team failed, and experienced some kind of “cleansing” in the form of the need to spend the season in Serie B. This was the case last year, however, they again managed to give the desired result, moreover, they won in the second division. Having strengthened the roster and invited Luis Castro as a coach, the club had a good start in Serie A. Having lost first to Corinthians, then Botafogo gave out a 6-match unbeaten streak. After that, however, they lost four times in a row. And that streak ended only with win over Sao Paulo, already in mid-June. And then in a shootout it turned out to defeat Internacional on the road, 3-2.

Fluminense hasn't really shined this season. The "team of warriors" showed good results at the beginning of the century. But in recent years, often they had finished in a place in the bottom half of the standings. Against this background, the 7th position in Serie A in 2021 was a major breakthrough. Thanks to this, the team even earned a right to play in the Cope Libertadores, but lost there in qualifying. And then the Brazilians played unsuccessfully in the Cope Sudamericana, without reaching the playoffs. Obviously, not everything works out in Serie A. Having started more or less well, then Fluminense lost ground, losing more often than winning. In recent matches, they managed to beat Avai in the championship and Cruzeiro in the cup.
Fluminense had a long, 8-fight, unbeaten streak in head-to-heads. Moreover, they won most of the matches in this segment. In March, Botafogo managed to win, on the road, in the semi-finals of the Carioca State Championship. But the “Team of Warriors” went on anyway, which scored a saving goal at 90+7 minutes. Both clubs have shown spectacular football in recent matches. A passing option looks like "over 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
