Vitoria target home resurgence against travel-weary Botafogo
A clash at the Barradao sees Vitoria fighting to pull clear of the relegation scrap while Botafogo attempt to bridge the three-point gap to the European qualification spots.
Vitoria enter this fixture 13th in the table on 26 points, sitting just four points above the drop zone with 18 games remaining. Survival is far from secured, and the hosts are desperate to snap a four-game winless run in Serie A. However, confidence has been bolstered by a recent 4-0 thrashing of Athletico Paranaense in the Copa do Brasil, proving their potency at the Barradao.
Franclim Carvalho’s Botafogo occupy ninth place with 30 points, but they arrive under significant pressure following a heavy midweek defeat in the Copa Sudamericana. While their away attack is the third-best in the division, they must overcome the physical toll of their recent travels to Peru to maintain their pursuit of a top-six finish.
