Insights:
  • Ferroviário have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
  • Botafogo SP have the most scored goals (5) away in Serie C

Botafogo SP have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

These are active days for the host team, as they played only four days ago in the Serie C. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Confianca.
