Botafogo vs Corinthians

Botafogo are looking to breathe new life into their title defence as they host Corinthians in a Brazilian Serie A fixture.

While both teams have stumbled lately, the champions are still maintaining a solid home record and will be feeling confident here. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who remain poor on the road.

Botafogo News

It has not been the smoothest title defence for Botafogo, who are currently fifth in the table, nine points off the pace. However, they are unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions and claimed a 1-0 victory over Sport Recife in their previous fixture.

One thing that has remained consistent for Botafogo this season is their home form. Davide Ancelotti’s team are unbeaten in their last 10 home matches across all competitions, picking up eight wins in that run.

Botafogo like to make fast starts and have scored the opening goal in nine of their last 10 home matches. All their goals in the last three matches across all competitions have also been scored after the break.

Corinthians News

Corinthians are struggling at the moment and currently sit in the bottom half of the table. They are winless in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions and were held to a 0-0 home draw by Cruzeiro in their previous fixture.

It is a similar situation on the road for Corinthians, who often struggle away from home. They are winless in eight of their last 10 away matches and were beaten 2-0 at Sao Paulo in their previous fixture on their travels.

One of the issues for Corinthians this season is a lack of cutting edge in attack. Dorival Junior’s team have only found the net twice in their last tour matches, with both goals coming after the break.

Head to Head

Corinthians have six wins while Botafogo have earned five victories, with one draw from the last 12 matches. However, the hosts did the double over their rivals last season, earning a 1-0 away victory in the first meeting before returning home for a 2-1 triumph in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Botafogo v Corinthians

Botafogo are almost untouchable at home and will come into this clash with plenty of confidence. They have opened the scoring in nine of their last 10 home matches, picking up eight wins in that run, and could be set for a repeat against Corinthians, who are out of sorts.

Both teams tend to leave things late, and with their last four matches producing more goals after the break, a similar pattern is expected here.
