Botafogo battle against Coritiba for glory and sporting success.
It's no vacation for neither Botafogo nor Coritiba as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Botafogo form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Botafogo's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estádio Nilton Santos.
The Botafogo fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie A game also here at Estádio Nilton Santos: A 0-2 defeat against Internacional (placed 1st). A strong away win before that one, visiting Parana and winning 2-1.
The manager P. Autuori de Mello will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Corinthians in only three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Botafogo's 2 home games: 2 goals, 3 conceded.
Coritiba form and stats
Coritiba are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
Coritiba won their last game, 1-0 versus Sport Recife played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Bragantino.
Late drama in the previous game, when Sabino scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat Sport Recife.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Atlético Mineiro in just four days.
Coritiba are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Coritiba have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
