Botafogo-SP target a points record and need seven from the last four rounds

Botafogo-SP have 44 points and need seven more from their last four Série B games to beat the 50 they managed in 2019, their best campaign in the points era. Reaching 51 would require 58% of the remaining points, against their current 43%.

O Botafogo-SP tem quatro rodadas para fazer a melhor campanha de sua história na era dos pontos corridos da Série B. Com 44 pontos e 13º lugar, o time precisa somar mais sete para superar os 50 de 2019, quando voltou à segunda divisão e terminou em nono.

Chegar aos 51 pontos exige 58% de aproveitamento nos duelos que restam — Avaí fora, Sport em casa, Londrina em casa e Juventude fora: são necessários dois triunfos e um empate. O aproveitamento atual do time na competição é de 43%.

Repetindo o que fez na ida diante dos mesmos rivais, o Tricolor chegaria a 52: foram vitórias por 3 a 1 sobre o Avaí e 4 a 2 sobre o Juventude, mais dois empates, 3 a 3 com o Sport e 0 a 0 com o Londrina.

O cenário da reta final reserva contextos bem diferentes. O Londrina pode receber o Botafogo já rebaixado; Sport e Juventude podem estar disputando vaga no playoff de acesso; e o Avaí, adversário deste sábado, recebe o time paulista às 16h, em jogo em que uma vitória confirma a permanência do Bota na divisão.

“A gente não tem essa competição da equipe ter a melhor campanha, de pontuação. A gente costuma olhar sempre para o momento que a gente está vivendo. Pode ter certeza que o melhor a gente vai entregar, jogo após jogo. E agora o próximo contra o Avaí a gente vai entregar o nosso melhor”, disse o lateral-direito Gabriel Inocêncio.

Os 44 pontos de 2026 já superam as campanhas de 2020 (ano do rebaixamento) e de 2025, quando o time escapou da queda só na última rodada. Por enquanto, é a quarta melhor entre as seis campanhas do clube na Série B: 50 em 2019 (9º), 34 em 2020 (19º, rebaixado), 47 em 2023 (12º), 45 em 2024 (14º), 42 em 2025 (16º) e 44 em 2026 (13º, com quatro jogos a disputar).
