Botafogo have struggled with their forward play of late. Their goals record equals just 4 vs opponents over their previous six matches. In those games, Botafogo have also seen the tally of goals against them total 4. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will be continued on here.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Botafogo:

• haven't lost in the league to São Paulo in their previous 7 games.
• are unbeaten in their last 10 league matches at home. A run that they'll hope to extend here.
