Botafogo SP team overview
Since Botafogo SP joined Serie B in 2023, they are regularly part of the lower part of the table. The current campaign is no different, as Botafogo SP are only one point ahead of the relegation zone. The team from Ribeirao Preto was terrible lately, with ten consecutive defeats. The negative streak ended with two wins in the last two matches. In the most recent outing, Botafogo SP won 1-0 on the road against Ceara. Surprisingly, the guests finished with xG of 1.29, while the hosts had only 0.50, so Claudio Tencati's team secured an unlikely victory.
Botafogo SP's head coach Claudio Tencati was ecstatic after a big victory in the previous match. He said, "We played a very good match and were rewarded with the victory. It was a demanding week as we had to put the team together because of the numerous absentees. We decided to tighten our marking, make life difficult for the opposition and capitalize on transitions. We executed our game plan very well and earned this hugely important victory."
Botafogo SP have major injury problems. They will be without Carlao, Darlan, Leandro Maciel, Jonathan, Marco Antonio, and Matheus Sales against CRB.

CRB team overview
After last season, when CRB were relatively close to the promotion playoffs, it seems the club from Maceio will have a significantly tougher 2026 campaign. Like Botafogo SP, they are one point above the relegation zone and could have a lot of trouble securing a place in the competition next season. After an excellent May, CRB are winless in four June matches and need one positive performance to restore some confidence. In the previous game, Eduardo Barroca's team played 1-1 at home against Fortaleza.
CRB's head coach, Eduardo Barroca, was satisfied with a draw in the previous game. However, he admitted that the biggest challenge for his team remains creating goal-scoring opportunities.
Injured Matheus Albino should be the only one unavailable for CRB in the upcoming game.
