It's early days in the Paraibano and both CSP and Botafogo PB 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.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Paraibano. That game, against Campinense, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Botafogo PB.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
CSP form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for CSP's two home games in the Paraibano so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estádio José Américo de Almeida Filho.
CSP faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sport PB (0-1). Ahead of that match, CSP won a home game hosting Perilima (1-0).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the CSP at home in the league. 2 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Botafogo PB form and stats
Botafogo PB, who have the most points (6) away in Paraibano, are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Paraibano. Having won their last three away games Botafogo PB has no reason to fear anyone.
It's the second away game in a row for Botafogo PB, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Campinense (placed 4th) in the Paraibano last time out. Preceding that game was the away Copa do Nordeste victory against CSA with the score of 1-0.
Botafogo PB has another fixture away, a Copa do Nordeste game, against Ceará in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Botafogo PB has managed 4 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - two - seven (CSP wins - draws - Botafogo PB wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
