Botafogo and Vasco da Gama meet in the league with both still needing points to climb out of the lower mid-table zone. In their most recent match, Botafogo lost 0-2 away, while Vasco da Gama thrashed their opponents 5-0 at home, so the two teams' form is clearly different. Botafogo's form is up and down, winning only 1 of their last 5 matches, and their defence is still leaky given the draws where they managed only a single goal. Vasco da Gama, meanwhile, are red hot, on a winning run and unbeaten in their recent matches, especially their last game where they scored as many as 5 goals. After kick-off, the first thing to watch is how well Vasco da Gama can maintain their attacking rhythm that is clicking right now, because if they take the lead first, the game will flow even more toward the away side.
