It's ground zero in Serie B - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how Vila Nova and Botafogo did in their pre-season friendlies!

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Botafogo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Vila Nova form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for Vila Nova as they were promoted from Goiano 1 last season. Happy days that were secured through 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses from ten games. The team scored 10 goals at home last season and conceded 4. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Vila as they have a new game in only four days, a Copa do Brasil match thankfully also at home. Bahia are visiting.

Botafogo form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Botafogo as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 13 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. Botafogo's manager M. Oliveira Chamusca are hoping to lead the team right back to Serie A at the first attempt.
