Yet another exciting fixture in the Carioca Serie A. Botafogo is in the 3rd place after completing three matches. They receive Nova Iguaçu who are placed 11th after three games.

Insights:
  • Botafogo have the most points from losing position (4) in Carioca Serie A

Only a few days to rest for the team playing at home, as they played a Carioca Serie A game only four days earlier. This match was also played here at Estádio Nilton Santos. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Nova Iguaçu have had more rest.

Botafogo form and stats

As mentioned below, Botafogo are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Carioca Serie A games. Botafogo has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Avai defeat 128 days ago.

Botafogo's previous game was also played at home, ending 4-2 versus Madureira (placed 9th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

Before that, Botafogo had a home game versus Bangu which ended with a victory 2-0.

Botafogo are traveling soon after this match as the Carioca Serie A match at Fluminense awaits in three days.

Botafogo has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Nova Iguaçu form and stats

The Carioca Serie A season is young and Nova Iguaçu have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Iguaçu are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Nova Iguaçu lost away at Vasco da Gama (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A 0-1 defeat away at Resende before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Boavista in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Iguaçu as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Nova Iguaçu have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Botafogo-Nova Iguaçu H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Botafogo six wins, Nova Iguaçu zero wins, four draws. four of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).

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.
