Still with four rounds left for the end of the first round, Botafogo can overcome not only their mark, but also the best score ever. The best campaign is Corinthians, in 2017, when the team reached 47 points at the end of the 19th round. The data is from Statistical Spywhich has analyzed the Brasileirão since 2006, when Série A now has 20 clubs.

In this Brasileirão, in addition to the number of victories, another statistic draws attention: Botafogo conceded only one goal at home in eight rounds. The alvinegra defense was leaked only in the first match of the championship, against São Paulo, with a goal by Calleri.
