Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Náutico in 10th and Botafogo SP in 13th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Botafogo SP have to travel 2500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Náutico form and stats
1-3-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Náutico so far this season.
Náutico lost their last game at Brasil de Pelotas (placed 12th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Náutico won a home game hosting Figueirense (1-0).
Náutico are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. 4 goals have been conceded.
Botafogo SP form and stats
1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Botafogo SP playing as the away team in the Serie B this season.
Botafogo SP lost away at Ponte Preta (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A draw for Botafogo SP before that, at their own venue hosting Cuiaba (1-1).
Late heartbreak for Botafogo in the Ponte Preta match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.
Goals are few and far between in Botafogo's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. It's not easy to score on Botafogo SP as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
