Botafogo, Recent FormBotafogo head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 3-2 away win against Flamengo in their last league encounter. During that encounter they had 26% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 13 of their 24 shots on goal.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Luís Castro will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos.
It has been a decent run of form for them recently, notching up 5 wins from the previous 6 matches.
Goalscorer Tiquinho Soares will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Botafogo.
Atletico Mineiro, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 home win over Athletico Paranaense in their last league game, Atlético Mineiro will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with a 59% share of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Athletico Paranaense, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Eduardo Coudet will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.
Atlético will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
Givanildo Hulk will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Atlético Mineiro.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Atlético Mineiro who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-2 to Botafogo.
From their past 6 away matches in the league against Botafogo, Galo have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going.
With only Patrick de Paula (Knee) and Roberto Fernández (Shoulder) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Luís Castro will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Eduardo Coudet has a number of injury concerns in his Atlético squad to contend with: Guilherme Arana (Cruciate ligament), Alan Kardec (Back), Pedro Pedrinho (Tendon), Igor Rabello (Cruciate ligament) and Allan Rodrigues de Souza (Back)
