After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Botafogo SP and Figueirense in this fresh Serie B season. Read our match preview!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Serie B match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Avaí.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Botafogo SP form and stats
Only two Serie B home games for Botafogo SP so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Botafogo SP enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Avaí's place. The match ended 1-0 with Elicarlos scoring. Preceding that match was a defeat to Guarani (0-1).
Botafogo's victory against Avaí could easily have been with a bigger margin than 1-0 as they hit the posts three times.
This is expected to be a close game, with Botafogo SP perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Botafogo SP as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Botafogo SP has won four of these, drawn three and lost five.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Botafogo SP at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Figueirense form and stats
Figueirense have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Serie B were 2 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat from 4 fixtures.
D. Goncalves was the last player to score for the away team. Figueirense haven't scored a league goal in the last 190 minutes.
Home advantage was not enough for Figueirense in their previous game, as they lost their Serie B-match, hosting Cruzeiro, 0-1. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Vitória.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Figueirense playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were five Figueirense wins, eleven draws and two defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Figueirense now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa do Brasil game at Fluminense is waiting in only three days.
1 goal so far away for Figueirense, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Botafogo, one draw and one win for Figueirense. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
