It's early days in the Brasileiro U20 and both Sao Paulo U20 and Botafogo U20 are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
The hosts Paulo saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Copa Do Brasil U20. This match was also played here at Centro de Formação de Atletas Presidente Laudo Natel. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Botafogo U20 have had more rest.
Sao Paulo U20 form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sao Paulo U20's two home games in the Brasileiro U20 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Centro de Formação de Atletas Presidente Laudo Natel.
Paulo haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 180 minutes ago. Cachoeira scored that one.
A nice win for Paulo last time playing, versus União ABC U20. That was also a home game and the match ended 7-1. Heartbreak before that as Paulo lost 0-1 at Fluminense U20's place.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Paulo played a great game against União ABC U20 and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to America Mineiro U20 in only four days.
Sao Paulo U20 has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Botafogo U20 form and stats
The Brasileiro U20 season is young and Botafogo U20 have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Carioca U20 home defeat versus Madureira U20 with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Vasco U20 in the Brasileiro U20.
After this away game Botafogo U20 return home for a Brasileiro U20 game against Internacional U20. That game is only four sleeps after this.
0 goals so far away for Botafogo U20, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Paulo won four, Botafogo U20 won zero and zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.Sao Paulo U20 missing players
