The Carioca U20 league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Nova Iguaçu U20 and Botafogo U20 are placed 7th and 5th respectively.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only one day ago in the Brasileiro U20.
Nova Iguaçu U20 form and stats
Only two Carioca U20 home games for Nova Iguaçu U20 so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Ahead of that match, Nova Iguaçu U20 won a home game hosting America RJ U20 (2-1).
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Iguaçu's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.
There will be little rest for Nova Iguaçu U20 after this match as they are travelling to Boavista U20 for a Carioca U20 game in only two days.
Nova Iguaçu U20 has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Botafogo U20 form and stats
The Carioca U20 season is young and Botafogo U20, who have the the worst goal difference (-3) in Carioca 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.
Botafogo's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Atletico-MG U20 that finished 3-3. A loss against Vasco U20 was the result prior to that, in a Carioca U20 home game.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Botafogo, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Botafogo when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing zero and winning one game.
The schedule is very tough for Botafogo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Brasileiro U20 game at Gremio U20 is waiting in only two days.
Botafogo U20 have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Iguaçu zero wins, one draw and Botafogo U20 one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Nova Iguaçu U20 missing players
