Botafogo are prepared for a new test after their 2-0 against Atlético Mineiro previously. Santos are coming to visit!

Santos is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

These are active days for the hometeam, as they had a match only three days ago in the Serie A. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Atlético Mineiro.

Botafogo form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Botafogo have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 9 defeats from 18 games.

A strong away win for Botafogo against Atlético Mineiro the last match, as Sá and Soares were on target. The talented striker Soares outshone all the other players in that fixture and received a match rating of 7.7 out of 10. Soares scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Cuiabá (0-2).

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 12 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 5 and lost 4.

There will be little rest for Botafogo after this match as they are travelling to Atletico PR for a Serie A game in only three days.

Botafogo have scored {15 league goals} here from 18 matches, not a lot. 19 goals have been conceded.

Santos form and stats

Santos have only collected 18 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 4-6-8 (18 played).

Santos's last game was the home draw against Avai (1-1). Bauermann, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.12. Bauermann hit one key pass and won 9 of 12 duels.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Atletico GO at their stadium, the result 3-2.

We have checked recent matches where Santos have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 3 victories, 6 draws and 2 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Santos are hosting Fortaleza in the Serie A only three days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Santos as they have only managed to score 16 times from 18 away games in the league. Santos have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Santos have put together a sequence of 7 consecutive matches without defeat (4-3-0) when playing Botafogo.

Santos - Botafogo 2-0 was the product when these participants formerly met, also in this season.
