Botafogo, Recent FormAny Botafogo pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 1-0 away defeat by Vasco da Gama. They came away from that fixture with 58% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Vasco da Gama managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 15 of their 16 played at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos this season.
They've had a poor run of form at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos recently, losing 3 of their last 6 home games and managing only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Júnior Santos will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Botafogo's last 6 league games.
Gremio, Recent FormGremio enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 home win over Bahia last time out in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Bahia had 19 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Manager Renato Portaluppi will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 11 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 17 most recent trips.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
Away from home in the league, Luis Suárez has given the Gremio travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-2 win for Botafogo.
Tricolor dos Pampas have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Botafogo. Goals come easy for Gremio when they travel to Estrela Solitária, having recorded 7 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.33 goals per match.
In the league, Gremio has a good track record when they travel to Botafogo, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
With Patrick de Paula (Knee) and Rafael Pereira da Silva (Knee) both being out for the rest of the season Botafogo manager Lúcio Flávio will be pleased that there are no other major fitness concerns amongst the rest of his squad ahead of this upcoming fixture.
Renato Portaluppi has a number of injury concerns in his Gremio squad to contend with: Nathan de Souza (Muscle), Rodrigo Ely (Muscle), Pedro Geromel (Thigh), Juan Iturbe (Muscle), João Pepê (Thigh) and Fábio Pereira da Silva (Sprained knee)
