Little time to rest for the home side, as they performed in a Copa do Brasil fixture only four days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Azuriz.

Botafogo SP form and stats

Botafogo SP, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Paulista A1, have played 4 Paulista A1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). With seven home Paulista A1 games in a row without a win, the Botafogo fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Parana game long ago, can be stopped today.

Before that, Botafogo SP drew at home versus Corinthians.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
