Atletico PR

WDWDLL ⚖

Atletico PR won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Flamengo.

In that game, Atletico PR had 30% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 1 on target. Flamengo had 17 shots on goal with 5 on target. Gerson (90') was the scorer for Flamengo.

Martín Varini's Atletico PR have found the net 5 times in their last six outings. The tally of goals that have been scored against them in that same time stands at 7.

Looking at their past form shows that Atletico PR:

• haven't lost in the league to Botafogo in their previous 4 games.
• haven't won against Botafogo in their last 2 league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 8 league games. Something needs to change.

Botafogo

WWDWDD 📈

Previously, Botafogo drew 0-0 in the Serie A tie with Grêmio.

In that game, Botafogo had 63% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Gremio had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.

A series of outstanding displays by the Botafogo defenders has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 2 from their last 6 fixtures combined. Over that same period, their own attack force has managed to score 6. We will find out if that trend can be sustained in this game.

Analysis of their past results shows that Botafogo:

• are winless against Atletico PR in games played away from home for the previous 12 league matches. Not an away record to be proud of.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 away league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Atletico PR

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Atletico PR boss Lucho González to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Fernandinho (Muscle injury) will miss out.

It’s our opinion that Furação may well opt for a 3-4-2-1 system for this game with Mycael, Kaique Rocha, Thiago Heleno, Mateo Gamarra, Tomás Cuello, Gabriel, Erick Carvalho, Lucas Esquivel, Bruno Zapelli, Agustín Canobbio and Pablo.

📰 Team News: Botafogo

It’s our belief that Fogão seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, starting John, Vitinho, Bastos, Alexander Barboza, Alex Telles, Gregore, Marlon Freitas, Luiz Henrique, Thiago Almada, Jefferson Savarino and Igor Jesus.

✨ Prediction

Our thinking is that Atletico PR might well have a job on their hands to see themselves scoring against this Botafogo outfit who will likely just have the edge.

That’s why our selection here is for a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 win for Botafogo at the end of this one.

Let’s see.
