Before that they drew away at Sao Bernardo SP (1-1), beat Ceara CE 1-0 at home, and shared points with Ponte Preta SP (1-1) and Atletico Goianiense GO (1-1).

Head-to-head record

These sides have met three times in recent seasons, and the head-to-head record strongly favors Nautico PE with one win and two draws, no losses. The most recent meeting was on May 2, 2026 when Botafogo SP hosted and it ended 1-1. In December 2020 they also drew 1-1 in Serie A. The only clear winner was Nautico PE, who beat Botafogo SP 3-1 at home in September 2020. That home victory underlines how tough Nautico PE can be on their own ground in this fixture.

League table positions

Looking at the Serie B standings, Nautico PE sit in 12th place with 34 points from 25 matches (9 wins, 7 draws, 9 losses, 30 goals scored, 28 conceded). Botafogo SP are not shown in the top 12, which suggests they are lower down the table - a potential gap in quality that matches the odds and form reading.

Nautico PE's home record specifically is not listed among the top 8, but their overall points tally and recent unbeaten run indicate they perform better than many mid-table sides. Botafogo SP's away form has included some wins, but also a 3-0 loss, pointing to vulnerability outside their own stadium.
