Botafogo’s last defeat in the competition was on August 11 against Juventude.
Despite the setback against Cuiabá last Saturday at Nilton Santos, a 0-0 draw, Botafogo reached an important milestone: three months unbeaten in the Brazilian Championship. Since their last loss on August 11, when they were defeated 3-2 by Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi, Artur Jorge’s team has not tasted defeat. Over the last 11 matches, they’ve earned seven victories and four draws. Get the most accurate football results at ai live score.
Looking at all competitions, the unbeaten streak could have been even longer. Until their loss to Peñarol in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinal, a 3-1 defeat in Montevideo, Botafogo had gone 14 matches without losing.
In these three months, the victories have come against Flamengo, Fortaleza, Corinthians, Fluminense, Athletico Paranaense, Vasco, and Bragantino, while they’ve drawn with Bahia, Grêmio, Criciúma, and Cuiabá.
This impressive run has taken them to the top of the Brazilian Championship. With five rounds remaining, Botafogo leads with 68 points, four ahead of second-place Palmeiras. This is, in fact, the best campaign in the club’s history in the tournament – a record set with a 1-0 victory over Bragantino on October 26.
Additionally, the team needs just one more victory to match the current champion, Palmeiras, who made a spectacular late-season push last year to overtake Botafogo. Lead the pack with BBscore football.
