Botafogo

WWDLWW

Botafogo will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-1 Serie A victory versus Santos.

Their latest results reveal that huge efforts have been put in by the Botafogo rearguard. Botafogo have kept it tight, with the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past 6 outings standing at 3. Regardless, it remains to be seen if that pattern will persist in this upcoming match.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Botafogo:

• are unbeaten in the league by Ceará in their last 2 games.
• have not been beaten in their last 13 home league matches. What a fortress.

Ceará

LWDWLL

Following on from being beaten in their last game against Atlético Mineiro in Serie A competition, Ceará will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Ceará managed 46% possession and 14 shots at goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Atletico Mineiro had 8 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Rony (78') scored for Atlético Mineiro.

The attacking players from Ceará have suffered from a lack of goals in their past six encounters, contributing the disappointing return of just 4. In those matches, Vovô have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 5.

A look at their previous results shows us that Ceará:

• have not been beaten by Botafogo when having played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. A very decent away record against them.
• are without an away win for the past 5 league games.

🗞️ Team News: Botafogo

Léo Linck (Shoulder injury), Matheus Martins (Hamstring injury) and Bastos (Knee injury) will not be able to play for Botafogo boss Renato Paiva.

In all likelihood, Fogão will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, handing starts to John, Vitinho, Jair Cunha, David Ricardo, Alex Telles, Gregore, Marlon Freitas, Artur, Allan, Jefferson Savarino and Igor Jesus.

🗞️ Team News: Ceará

Ceará manager Leo Condé has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Luiz Otávio (Torn knee ligaments), Richard (Achilles tendon rupture), Richardson (Heel spur) and Fernandinho (Shoulder injury) will miss out on this game.

We are inclined to think that Vovô seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Fernando Miguel, Fabiano, Willian Machado, Marllon, Nicolas Vichiatto, Fernando Sobral, Dieguinho, Antonio Galeano, Lucas Mugni, Pedro Henrique and Pedro Raul.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Ceará have it in them to score a goal against this Botafogo side, however it probably won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Our selection here is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Botafogo by the conclusion of the game. Should be an interesting one.
