The home team is currently in the 16th position of the league, with 5 points won, after 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Goiás, by (0‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Athletico PR, by (1‑4). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 19 conceded. Botafogo SP has won 2, tied 5 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 6 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there are 3 periods that stand out: they have scored 4 of their 7 goals between minutes (0'‑15'); they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (31'‑45') and 3 of their 8 goals between (76'‑90').

After a negative run, Botafogo-SP finally got their first win in the previous round and momentarily left the relegation zone. Despite the relief, the team is still in a delicate situation and needs to keep picking up points to move away from the Z-4. Playing at home, the pressure for another positive result is great, but the offensive performance remains a concern. The team will have to maintain their focus and intensity to avoid repeating the mistakes of previous rounds. The opponent's instability could be a favorable factor, but the balance of the match calls for caution. The support of the fans could be decisive in maintaining the reaction.

Confirmed Lineup: Victor Souza, R. Milhorim, Alisson, Gabriel Risso Patrón, Jeferson, Leandro Maciel, Alejo Dramisino, Sabit Abdulai, W. Rodrigues Regis, A. de Jesus Jeruzalem Júnior, Jonathan Cafú.
Coach: M. Oliveira Chamusca.

Analysis Athletic

The away team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 3 points won, after 1 win and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Volta Redonda, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Vila Nova, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 19 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (1‑0) against Chapecoense. In the last 10 away matches Athletic has won 3, tied 1 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 6 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Athletic are going through a very difficult phase, remaining in the relegation zone with only three points won so far. The team has the worst defense in the competition, which has compromised its ability to react in matches. This is a time of intense pressure, and the team urgently needs to correct defensive flaws if it is to avoid sinking further down the table. Even away from home, they will have to show a more competitive attitude if they want to surprise. The expectation is for a truncated duel, where the fight for every point will be intense. For Athletic, scoring is an urgent necessity in the face of their poor run of form.

Confirmed Lineup: Jefferson, Sidimar, Rodrigo Silva Nascimento, Yuri, Pelé, Gabriel Ferreira Dias, Diego Fumaça, Alexsandro Amorim de Freitas Filho, Ezequiel, Neto Costa, Maswel Ananias Silva.
Coach: R. Rodrigues da Silva.
