Botafogo, Recent FormBotafogo have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 home win against Atlético Mineiro in their previous league match. They came away from that fixture with 39% of the possession and clocked up 22 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Atlético Mineiro managed 9 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
Manager Luís Castro will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
Tiquinho Soares will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Botafogo.
Corinthians, Recent FormCorinthians will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Fortaleza with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Fortaleza who had 16 attempts and 2 on target.
Manager Cuca Stival will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Róger Guedes 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 Corinthians.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Botafogo, losing 1-0 to Corinthians.
The stats show that in the last 4 meetings between Botafogo and their rivals, Timão, the former have conceded at least one goal.
Botafogo have lost the last 3 times they've faced Corinthians in the league and have failed to win in their last 4 encounters.
José Paulinho has scored in each of Corinthians' last 0 league games against Botafogo.
Botafogo manager Luís Castro has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Danilo Barbosa (Thigh), Patrick de Paula (Knee) and Roberto Fernández (Shoulder) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Renato Augusto (Knee) and Gustavo Silva (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Cuca Stival will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
