Botafogo

WDWWDW 📈

Botafogo, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-1 Serie A victory vs Corinthians.

In that match, Botafogo managed 47% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Botafogo was Júnior Santos (59'). On the other side, Corinthians got 16 shots at goal with 7 on target.

Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that not much more can be done by the Botafogo defence. Botafogo have been mean at the back, with the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last 6 outings standing at 3.

Heading into this fixture, Botafogo have not been beaten in the league by Fluminense in their previous 3 matches.

Fluminense

WLWWWD

Previously, Fluminense drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Juventude.

In that match, Fluminense had 62% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Fluminense was Marcelo (42'). At the other end, Juventude had 12 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Jádson (67') scored for Juventude.

In their last half-dozen outings, Fluminense have amassed a tally of 10 goals. Fluminense have also managed to score on each one of those occasions. Over that period, their defenders have seen 6 goals go against them. That trend might not be carried forward into this match, of course.

Going into this one, Fluminense are without a win away from home in their last 4 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head meetings stretching back to 04/10/2020, neither club has come out on top overall with Botafogo winning 2 of those games, Fluminense 2 and 2 being drawn after 90 minutes of play.

A sum of 12 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 6 of them from Fogão and 6 created by Tricolor. That’s an average goals per game of 2.

The previous league game between these clubs was Serie A match day 26 on 08/10/2023 which ended up with the score at Fluminense 0-2 Botafogo.

That day, Fluminense had 66% possession and 19 shots at goal with 5 on target.

On the other side, Botafogo got 13 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Júnior Santos (20') and Tiquinho Soares (22') scored.

🗞️ Team News: Botafogo

The Botafogo manager Artur Jorge has no fitness concerns at all ahead of this match with a completely injury-free group available for selection.

In all likelihood, Fogão may well line up in a 4-4-2 system this time with John, Damian Suarez, Lucas Halter, Bastos, Cuiabano, Luiz Henrique, Danilo Barbosa, Marlon Freitas, Tchê Tchê, Júnior Santos and Jefferson Savarino.

🗞️ Team News: Fluminense

With a fully healthy group ready to go, the Fluminense boss Fernando Diniz has no fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this match.

We’re of the thinking that Tricolor appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Fabio, Guga, Felipe Melo, Marlon Santos, Marcelo, Alexsander, Martinelli, Marquinhos, Ganso, Keno and Germán Cano.

🧠 Prediction

In this game, Fluminense are dangerous enough to score against this Botafogo lineup, but that is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

Our tip is for a 2-1 victory for Botafogo at the end of this one. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
