Botafogo-SP are staring down the barrel of relegation as they prepare for a crucial Série B clash against Operário-PR. The team, based in Ribeirão Preto, are desperate for a win to distance themselves from the dreaded drop zone.
A Season of Struggles
Botafogo's season has been plagued by inconsistency, leaving fans frustrated. Every defeat brings the reality of relegation closer. The team's reliance on rivals in the Z4 also failing to win highlights the precarious situation they find themselves in.
