One of the most predictable profiles on the site
Botafogo's average Crime Index across its 3 reviewed matches is just 24% — one of the lowest figures for any club on this site. Even the single most anomalous covered match, a 2-1 home win over Santos, only reached 38% on the Crime Index — well below the peak figures for most other clubs in the database.
A notable xG shortfall over the wider sample, even so
Across the 4 matches with calculated xG, the club generated 6.19 expected goals but scored only 3 — a shortfall of more than 3 goals against the model. That doesn't contradict the low Crime Index: an under-conversion problem can spread evenly across several matches without producing any single result that looks statistically shocking on its own. In other words, Botafogo has been systematically under-converting its chances, but doing so evenly enough to avoid ranking among the most anomalous clubs on a match-by-match basis.
