Botafogo travels to face São Paulo this Sunday at Morumbi for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, seeking to extend a ten-match unbeaten streak against their rivals.
The last time Botafogo tasted defeat against São Paulo was in December 2020, a 4-0 loss at Morumbi played behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, the head-to-head record has dramatically shifted, with five wins for Botafogo and five draws in the last ten encounters. Notably, Glorioso has secured one win and three draws in four matches played at São Paulo’s home stadium during this period.
A particularly memorable moment within this run of form was Botafogo’s qualification for the Copa Libertadores semifinals over São paulo last year, achieved after a penalty shootout victory at Morumbi.
