2025-05-12 | Game Summary

On May 11, 2025, Botafogo delivered a commanding performance against Internacional in the Brazilian Serie A, securing a 4-0 victory at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos. Igor Jesus opened the scoring early in the 9th minute, followed by Artur just before halftime in the 44th minute. Cuiabano extended the lead in the 54th minute, and Alex Telles sealed the win in the 69th minute.
Despite Internacional having more possession (56.8%) and more shots (19 to Botafogo's 12), they failed to convert their chances, registering the same number of shots on target, 5, as the home team. Botafogo's clinical finishing proved to be the difference, capitalizing on their opportunities in front of goal.
The AI-powered prediction anticipated a Botafogo win, and the actual result aligned perfectly with this forecast. The pre-game analysis suggested a balanced game was not expected, further validated by Botafogo's dominant display.
Botafogo's recent form has been relatively good, with a mix of wins and losses in both the Brazilian Serie A and CONMEBOL Libertadores. They won against Carabobo (1-2) and Fluminense (2-0), and they also won the Copa do Brasil match against Capital Brasilia (4-0). However, they lost to Bahia (1-0) and Estudiantes de La Plata (1-0). Their upcoming match against Estudiantes de La Plata in the CONMEBOL Libertadores will be crucial. Botafogo has struggled to beat Estudiantes recently, having lost the last two matches, so they will need to improve their performance significantly.
Internacional's form has been inconsistent, with recent losses against Atlético Nacional (3-1) and Corinthians (4-2) and a draw against Nacional (3-3), interspersed with wins against Maracanã (1-0) and Juventude (3-1). They are clearly struggling to find consistency in both the Brazilian Serie A and CONMEBOL Libertadores. Their next game against Nacional in the CONMEBOL Libertadores is a must-win to improve their chances of advancing.
Historically, Botafogo have had mixed results against Internacional, with the head-to-head record showing wins for both sides. In their last match, Internacional lost at home, while Botafogo lost away. This comprehensive victory for Botafogo could serve as a major confidence booster as they prepare for their upcoming CONMEBOL Libertadores match. On the other hand, Internacional will need to regroup quickly to address their defensive vulnerabilities ahead of their own crucial Libertadores fixture.
