Only a few games have been played in the Serie C so far, with Botafogo PB placed 6th and Santa Cruz sitting in the 3rd position.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Botafogo PB form and stats
A Serie C draw at home so far for Botafogo PB. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats from 5 matches.

Botafogo PB drew their last game, also a home match. Manaus (placed 5th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Prior to that, an away loss at Ferroviario.
At Estádio José Américo de Almeida Filho, Botafogo PB has the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Santa Cruz form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first Serie C away game of the season. During their previous season 4 away games resulted in 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. Things are running smoothly for Santa who hasn't tasted defeat in their last ten matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Sport Recife. It's three draws from Santa's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Santa Cruz are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Serie C against Treze (placed 9th). A 0-0 draw at Paysandu's stadium before that.
Late drama in the previous game, when Toty scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time to defeat Treze.
Santa Cruz have the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
