Botafogo, Recent FormBotafogo manager Tiago Nunes will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Fortaleza. During that encounter they had 69% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 15 shots on goal.
They have found the net 10 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 14 goals in that same period. At home this season, they have scored in 16 of their 17 home games and notched up 8 clean sheets.
Botafogo will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos, they've lost their last 3 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 6 games.
Santos, Recent FormIt's fair to say Santos will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Sao Paulo, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 30%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Sao Paulo had 13 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Marcelo Fernandes will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 6 goals. They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, but playing away from home this season, they have failed to score in 8 of their 17 games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Marcos Leonardo will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Botafogo in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Santos.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Botafogo have managed to keep a clean sheet against Peixe in each of their previous 2 meetings at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos.
Yeferson Soteldo has scored in each of Santos' last league game against Botafogo.
With only Patrick de Paula (Knee) and Rafael Pereira da Silva (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Tiago Nunes will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With both Felipe Jonatan (Cruciate ligament) and Sandry Santos Goes (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and João Basso (Thigh), Alex de Oliveira (Broken ankle), Luan Dias (Muscle), José Dodô (Knee), Alison Lopes Ferreira (Knee), Bruno Mezenga (Muscle) and Alfredo Morelos (Calf) all unavailable in the shorter term, Santos manager Marcelo Fernandes will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
