It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ceará and Botafogo PB.
Ceará form and stats
Two Copa do Nordeste home games so far for Ceará, who are yet to win here at Estádio Municipal Presidente Getúlio Vargas. Only 2 points so far.

Botafogo PB form and stats
Botafogo PB are still undefeated on their travels in the Copa do Nordeste. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other. Botafogo PB are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.

Botafogo PB has another fixture away, a Paraibano game, against Sao Paulo Crystal in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
