Vasco x Botafogo: Where to Watch, Lineups, Absences, Suspensions, and Refereeing

Botafogo continues its dream of an unprecedented title in the Copa do Brasil, the priority in the 2025 season, facing Vasco on Wednesday (8/27) at 9:30 pm at São Januário in the first leg of the quarterfinals. The return leg will take place on September 11 at Nilton Santos Stadium, with the winner facing Fluminense or Bahia in the semi-finals. The Glorioso relies on an excellent away record with Davide Ancelotti. Despite the Liberators’ elimination in the altitude of Quito, Botafogo has won five consecutive matches away from home, including one in the Copa do Brasil and four in the Brasileirão – the latest being on Sunday against Juventude, with two goals from newcomer Chris Ramos.
