Botafogo form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Botafogo so far with only 11 Serie A points returning home. The records show 3-2-8 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Bruno Lazaroni, the Botafogo manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
