It's only fixture two of the Carioca Serie A for these participants. and fresh optimism here at Estádio Nilton Santos as Botafogo welcome Bangu. Get smart with this preview!

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

The visiting Bangu played their last game only three days ago, a Carioca Serie A match. That game, against Fluminense, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Bangu.

Botafogo form and stats

The season before, Botafogo's league stats were 20 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses, ending with 1st spot in the Serie B. From these 38 matches they scored 56 goals and gave away 31. Appearing as the host team in the former season Botafogo delivered 15-2-2 (win-draw-lost) with 39 goals and 13 conceded. Botafogo has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Avai defeat 119 days ago.

An away draw last time out for Botafogo, facing Boavista in a game that ended 1-1.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Guarani that ended 2-2.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Carioca Serie A game versus Madureira in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Nilton Santos.

There are 26 state football leagues in Brazil. Because of long distances in Brazil a very competitive football culture developed within each state. Therefore, Brazil remain one of the few countries who still run state championships alongside the national ones. Most of them run from January to May, outside the national season.
