Botafogo make preparations for another match after their 0-0 result against Ponte Preta, a match that produced some answers. Will they show it against Operário PR?

Insights:
  • Botafogo have the most scored goals (51) in Serie B
  • Operário PR have the fewest dropped points from leading position (3) in Serie B

These are hustling days for the team playing at home, as they had a match only four days ago in the Serie B. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Ponte Preta.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Operário PR, who are travelling more than 900 kilometers to play this game.

Operário PR form and stats

Operário PR have only collected 17 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 4-5-8 (17 played).

Operário are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Serie B against Remo (placed 15th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager R. Catalá Salgado Junior when Schumacher scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute. Felipe Garcia got a match rating of 7.82 in that game, top player of the team. Garcia scored one goal and hit two key passes.

A draw for Operário before that, at their own venue hosting Goias (1-1).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Operário manager R. Catalá Salgado Junior as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Brusque.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 21 goals have been conceded by Operário in these games.

Head 2 Head

The last head to head game ended Operário PR - Botafogo 1-0, earlier this season.
