Botafogo SP vs Paysandu recent form
In 2018, Botafogo SP was promoted to the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B. The club was unable to maintain its position but will return to the second division for the 2023 season, where it finished 12th. Last season, Botafogo SP finished in 14th place. The 2025 season has gotten off to a very poor start. Until the 20th match day, the club from Ribeirão Preto in the state of São Paulo was in last place. Currently, Botafogo SP is not last but remains in the relegation zone, in 18th place with 29 points, three more than the last team and four less than the first team above the relegation zone. But nothing is going right. Botafogo SP has won none of its last five games, including five heavy defeats and a narrow 1-1 draw against Operario Ferroviario in the 26th round.
Two months ago, Paysandu was still performing well. They had overcome a poor start to the season and gone 10 games unbeaten between matchdays 12 and 20. But Paysandu quickly fell back into its old ways. Last in Brazil's Serie B with only 25 points, it was in the 29th round that Paysandu won just one of its last 10 games, beating Criciuma 4-2. Last week, the team drew 1-1 with Cuiaba. Over the 10-game period, the team lost seven times. Paysandu is a 50-time champion of the state of Pará. Papão has also won the Brazilian Serie B championship twice, the Copa Norte, and its greatest pride since 2002, winner of the Copa dos Campeões. This latest victory allowed it to rise to the rank of the first northern Brazilian soccer club to participate in the Copa Libertadores in 2003. It finished 13th in Brazil's Serie B in 2024.
