Sampaio Corrêa are welcoming Botafogo SP for another important game after their 2-1 result against 18th-placed Cruzeiro.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Serie B match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Cruzeiro, so at least Sampaio are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Botafogo SP have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Sampaio Corrêa form and stats
2 victories, 0 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Sampaio Corrêa, who have the fewest scored goals (3) at home in Serie B, have to build on here in the Serie B.
A strong away win for Sampaio Corrêa against Cruzeiro the last match, as Roney and Caio Dantas were on target. Before that, Sampaio had a home game versus CSA which ended with a victory 1-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sampaio Corrêa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sampaio Corrêa as a small favourite), we find seven games. Sampaio has won two of these, drawn one and lost four.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Sampaio Corrêa as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie B match thankfully also at home. Figueirense are visiting.
Sampaio have scored 3 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Sampaio Corrêa have conceded only 4 goals.
Botafogo SP form and stats
Botafogo SP have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-1-4 (7 played).
There might be some fixture complaints from Botafogo SP as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie B match against Chapecoense (0-1). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Parana.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Botafogo playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were three Botafogo SP wins, five draws and seven defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Botafogo SP as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. 7 goals have been conceded by Botafogo SP in these games.
