The season is still fairly new and the Serie A table has to be read with caution. So far Corinthians find themselves in 16th position and Botafogo are placed 13th.
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.
Corinthians form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Corinthians's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Arena Corinthians.
A strong away win for Corinthians against Goias the last match, as Danilo Avelar were on target. Prior to that, an away loss at São Paulo.
Some amazing scenes last match, when Danilo Avelar scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Corinthians at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Botafogo form and stats
Botafogo are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). Botafogo has built quite a streak of draws from their away games now, as five in a row has ended all square. Will this streak be broken in today's game?
Botafogo aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 180 league minutes without a goal. Pedro Raul was the last player to find the net.
There were no winners in Botafogo's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 0-0 vs Coritiba (placed 16th). A loss against Internacional was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Botafogo has another fixture away, a Serie A game, against Athletico PR in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Botafogo are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Corinthians, one draw and five wins for Botafogo. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.Top Goalscorers
