The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Botafogo are in the 12th position while the guests worry at 16th.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Botafogo form and stats

5-1-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Botafogo so far this season. Botafogo has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Eduardo Barroca and the players.

In their previous game, the manager Eduardo Barroca led his Botafogo to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Fortaleza. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Nilton Santos. Prior to that, an away loss at Bahia.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Botafogo as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Goiás are visiting.

The Botafogo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. Botafogo are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Nilton Santos in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.

Fluminense form and stats

There's been little loot from Fluminense's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 10 away games in the Serie A. Fluminense only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. Fluminense seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Fluminense won their last game, 2-1 versus Grêmio played at home. A draw for Fluminense before that, at their own venue hosting Santos (1-1).

The schedule is very tough for Fluminense now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Cruzeiro is waiting in only three days.

Fluminense are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 10 games (in the league). The Fluminense manager Oswaldo de Oliveira has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Fluminense - Botafogo 0-1, played this season. Botafogo-Fluminense H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Botafogo 4 wins, Fluminense 4 wins, 2 draws. 3 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
