The teams face each other in an important match at both ends of the table
In a match valid for the 29th round of the Serie A of the Brazilian championship, Atletico will host Botafogo, this Saturday (05), at 16:30 (Brasilia time), at the Ligga Arena, in Curitiba. Furacão wants to move away from the relegation zone of the competition, while Glorioso wants to consolidate their leadership.
HOW ATHLETIC ARRIVES:
Furacão is coming off two consecutive defeats since coach Lucho González took charge. One negative result was in the Copa Sudamericana and the other in the Brazilian championship. Atletico have already been winless for two months in elite domestic football and have only four wins at home. The team seeks recovery to move away from the relegation zone.
HOW BOTAFOGO ARRIVES:
At the helm of the Brasileirão, Botafogo already has ten matches unbeaten. During this period, the team managed to advance to the semifinal of the Libertadores and remain at the top of the Brazilian championship table. In the last match, Glorioso drew 0-0 against Grêmio, in Brasilia.
RETROSPECTIVE:
In history, the two clubs have faced each other 57 times and the advantage goes to Atletico, which boasts 27 victories against Botafogo’s 20. There were also ten draws. In the last match between them, valid for this year’s Brasileirão, the score ended in a 1-1 draw at Nilton Santos.
As the home team, Atletico have not lost to Botafogo since 2008, when they suffered a 3-0 defeat. Since then, there have been 14 more matches under Furacão’s leadership with 11 wins and three draws.

Ricardo Oliveira – Reporter:
Playing in Curitiba and with the desire to win, Atletico must try to impose themselves against Botafogo, who are in good form. The match should be quite close and I think it will end in a draw.
Guess: Atletico 1×1 Botafogo.
