Coritiba are welcoming Botafogo for another important game after their 0-1 result against 15th-placed Sport Recife.

Insights:
  • Coritiba has the fewest scored goals (6) at home in Serie A
  • Botafogo is in the worst form (0-0-6)

Coritiba and Botafogo should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Botafogo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Coritiba form and stats

With 3 Serie A wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Coritiba, who have the fewest scored goals (6) at home in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Stress levels are on the rise for Coritiba's attacking players as they have now played 270 minutes without scoring in a league game. Mattheus was their last goal scorer.

Coritiba faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sport Recife (0-1). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Bragantino.

The lack of attacking qualities in Coritiba means that they have only scored 6 goals in 12 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Coritiba have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Botafogo form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Botafogo so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 1-6-5 (win-draw-lose). Botafogo are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Sport Recife fixture. Bitter travels for Botafogo as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Sport Recife match.

There might be some fixture complaints from Botafogo as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie A match against Internacional (1-2). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against São Paulo wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Botafogo have conceded 19 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
