A strong away win for Ituano against Botafogo SP the last match, as da Silva, Silva and Person were on target. What a relief, as that was the first league victory after going winless in six fixtures in a row. Manager Pozzo felt very clever after Silva scored the winning goal against Botafogo SP, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 63rd minute.
Preceding that match was the home game against Água Santa that was lost 0-3.This is expected to be a close game, with Ituano perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
