League round two of the Serie C season and the contenders have adjusted from insights gained in the first match. Here's our Altos - Botafogo SP preview:
Botafogo SP have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It's no vacation for neither Altos nor Botafogo SP as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
