Botafogo has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager de Castro and the players.
Botafogo are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Palmeiras.

Piage hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 21 successful passes (of 23 total).

Late heartbreak for Avaí in the Atletico GO match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Attacker Bissoli got a player rating of 7.63 in the game. "Man of the match" Bissoli scored one goal and hit three key passes.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against São Paulo.A quick return to home after this game, as Avaí are hosting Fortaleza in the Serie A only three days away.
