However, Botafogo's goalkeeper made 6 saves, denying Vasco more goals. Botafogo committed slightly more fouls (16 to Vasco's 15) and received more yellow cards (4 to Vasco's 2).
The AI pre-game prediction favored a Botafogo win, with a 41.1% probability, but the game ended in a draw. The AI model did not expect a balanced game, and with almost equal shots on target for each team, this was not the case.
Vasco da Gama's form has been inconsistent, with a recent 6-0 win against Santos but also losses to Corinthians and Juventude. Botafogo, on the other hand, had a recent 5-0 win against Fortaleza and a 3-1 win against Juventude, but lost to Liga de Quito in the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
Vasco's next game is against Sport in the Brazilian Serie A. Sport has struggled recently, but Vasco's form is also shaky, making it a potentially difficult match. Botafogo will face Red Bull Bragantino in the Brazilian Serie A. Botafogo defeated RB Bragantino in Copa do Brasil recently.
In their recent head-to-head matches, Vasco has had mixed results against Sport, while Botafogo has had some success against Red Bull Bragantino. This Copa do Brasil result sets up a tense second leg, with both teams having a good chance to advance. Vasco Da Gama's previous games show a slight weakness in defense.

On August 27, 2025, Vasco da Gama will face Botafogo in a Copa do Brasil match at Estádio Sao Januario. AI predicts a Botafogo victory, with a 41.1% win probability compared to Vasco's 32.6%. A draw is predicted with a 26.3% probability. Botafogo, rated 0.6, enters as the favorite against Vasco's 0.408 rating. Botafogo's recent form has been stronger, though they did face a loss in the CONMEBOL Libertadores. Their star striker, Tiquinho, will be key to their attack. Vasco will rely on midfielder Praxedes to create opportunities. Will the AI be correct?
