It's early days in the Serie A and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Botafogo form and stats

Botafogo have only played one game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats from three matches.

The Botafogo supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Bahia in Serie A and win 3-2. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at São Paulo.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Botafogo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 5 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.

At Estádio Nilton Santos, Botafogo has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 1 fixture.

A new game in only four days for Fortaleza, the Copa do Nordeste home match versus Santa Cruz. Busy days.
