Botafogo Preview – Can Botafogo bounce back?
A heavy 3-1 defeat away from home at Gremio last time out in Serie A resulted in Monday night’s visitors, Botafogo, dropping down to 15th place on the Brazilian top flight ladder but they return to the more familiar surroundings of their Estádio Nilton Santos for this upcoming clash against Goias, who sit bottom of the table.
Botafogo had previously registered back-to-back wins against 8th placed Palmeiras 2-1 at home and a 2-1 win on the road at 11th placed Sport Recife, so the 15th placed placed hosts will be reasonably confident that they can bounce back with a result tonight.
However, Botafogo have managed to pick up just one win from their last seven matches overall which doesn’t seem too promising but they’ve won their last two meetings on the trot at home against Goias, winning 3-1 and 1-0 respectively, so the hosts will be aiming for a third victory on the trot against their visitors.
Goias Preview – Can Goias stop the rot?
The visitors bring a worrying six-match sequence without a win into this upcoming fixture against Botafogo, a poor run of results which has dropped Goias into bottom spot on the Serie A ladder prior to Monday night’s action.
Four defeats within this period against Santos, Fluminense, Atletico Mineiro and Flamengo certainly haven’t helped Goias’s cause, and with just one win claimed from their last 10 matches in the Brazilian top flight (which was at home against Internacional), their visit to Botafogo doesn’t look promising.
Goias have also managed to collect just one win from their last 13 matches on their travels (at Internacional), and having lost eight of these 13 matches and no clean sheets during this disappointing period, Goias look set to have their work cut out here.
