Botafogo, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Botafogo players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Athletico Paranaense. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Athletico Paranaense managed 16 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Manager Luís Castro will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.
Goalscorer Tiquinho Soares will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Botafogo.
Fortaleza, Recent FormFortaleza manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Bahia. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Bahia had 7 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 4 goals netted in those 6 matches. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. The early part of the season has provided an unusually high number of draws for Leão do Pici, with 5 draws in 9 league games.
Thiago Galhardo has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Botafogo.
Botafogo recorded a 1-3 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
When playing away from home in the league, Leão do Pici have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against Botafogo.
Botafogo has won the last 2 games they've played against Fortaleza in the league.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Botafogo manager Luís Castro with Danilo Barbosa (Thigh), Fernando Marçal (Knee), Gabriel Pires (Calf) and Matías Segovia (Broken hand) all unavailable for selection, and Patrick de Paula (Knee) out for the rest of the season.
With only Fernando Miguel (Knee) and Pedro Rocha (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
