It's the second chance for points this campaign as Santos and Botafogo SP fight it out at Estádio Urbano Caldeira.

Santos form and stats

In the previous season, Santos's league stats were 12 wins, 14 draws and 12 losses, results that produced 10th spot in the Serie A. From these 38 matches they scored 35 goals and let in 40. Playing at home in the last season Santos managed 9-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with 21 goals and 14 conceded.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Santos, as their goalkeeper Joao Paulo Silva Martins has completely shut out the opponents for 192 minutes in the Paulista A1.

The Santos coach Carille and his crew return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Inter de Limeira.

Before that, Santos drew at home versus Cuiaba.

Botafogo SP form and stats

Let's have a look at how Botafogo SP performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 19th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 10 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 26 and conceded 39 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 6 and lost 11 with 7/19 goals scored/conceded. It's three draws from Botafogo SP's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

The attacking players of Botafogo SP have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes. The Botafogo SP goalkeeper Deivity Andre Cherutti Martins is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 258 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Botafogo's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Santo Andre that finished 0-0.

Ahead of that match was the Serie C away draw versus Ituano that ended 0-0.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Botafogo SP when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing two and winning zero games.

After this away game Botafogo SP return home for a Paulista A1 game against Ferroviária. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Santos six wins, three draws and Botafogo SP one victory. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
