Season ticket holders at Estádio Santa Cruz haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Botafogo SP languishing in the 4th position so far. The guesting Guarani will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Botafogo SP form and stats
Botafogo SP, who have the most conceded goals (21) in Paulista A1, have played 5 Paulista A1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Botafogo bring valid hopes of a third.
In their previous game, the manager C. dos Santos Oliveira led his Botafogo to a defeat in the Paulista A1 match away at Oeste. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Santa Cruz. Ahead of that match, Botafogo won a home game hosting São Paulo (1-0).
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Rafinha for missing a penalty kick versus Oeste in the 59th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

What a finish in the last match, as Guarani came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Thallyson's goal in the 89th minute.
