Competition: Brazil Serie A
Competition: Sat 13.February
Match begins: 20:00 (UTC)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie A, Goiás holding 18th place and Botafogo lying 20th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Insights:
  • Goiás has the most conceded goals (60) in Serie A
  • Botafogo is in the worst form (0-1-5)

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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Botafogo have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Goiás are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. For Botafogo it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.

Goiás form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Goiás, who have the most conceded goals (60) in Serie A, have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 8 defeats from 17 games.

Goiás drew their last game, 3-3 away at Bahia (placed 16th). Before that, Goiás had a home game versus Atletico Mineiro which ended with a victory 1-0.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? A painful moment in the game against Bahia was the missed penalty kick from Fernandão in the 18th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Goiás are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 17 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Goiás defense is not exactly impregnable. 28 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Botafogo form and stats

Botafogo, who have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Serie A, have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-7-8 (17 played).

Botafogo's previous game was their home loss versus Gremio (2-5). A loss against Sport Recife was the result prior to that, in a home game.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Botafogo, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Botafogo as they have only managed to score 15 times from 17 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Botafogo have conceded 28 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
