Internacional vs Botafogo Prediction and Betting Tips | October 4th 2025

Internacional will host Botafogo at the Estádio Beira-Rio on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Brasileirão Série A campaign. The hosts will be desperate to return to winning ways and push higher up the table after a rough few weeks.

Inter needed a 102nd-minute penalty to equalize in their 1-1 home draw with Corinthians on Wednesday to mark their eighth draw of the league season and take them six points clear of the drop zone.

The Reds, who finished the last league season in fifth place and earned continental qualification, have only won one of their last 10 games across all competitions and will be keen to turn things around going into the final months of the season.

Botafogo are in a much better position as they sit in fourth place with 12 wins from 26 games played so far following their 2-1 win over 10-man Bahia last time out. The visitors are 11 points off the top with a dozen games to go and will be looking to string together a good run of results to keep their chances of defending the title alive.

Internacional vs Botafogo Prediction

The sides are closely matched going into the weekend, but Colorado will need to be at their rarely seen best to get a win against a side in considerably better form.

Fogo will be confident to come away with at least a point on the road and will rely on their much better defensive record to perhaps pick up all three points.
