Season ticket holders at Estádio Nilton Santos haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Botafogo languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Santos will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Botafogo form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Botafogo have to build on here at Estádio Nilton Santos in the Serie A.

Santos form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.
There were no winners in Santos's previous match, a Copa Libertadores home game that ended 0-0 vs Olimpia. A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Sao Paulo in the Serie A.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Santos manager A. Stival as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Delfin.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Santos have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Botafogo, two draws and seven wins for Santos. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
