The last three meetings between Mirassol and Botafogo all ended with goals flying in, especially the most recent one, which Botafogo won 3-2 in April. This time both come in with defences that are not as solid as before. Mirassol have been picking up points without interruption, but they have not beaten anyone in the league for a long time. Their attack is decent enough, but it is the defence that has been letting points slip away time and again. Botafogo just got back to winning ways in their last match and are unbeaten in 3 straight, even though they had conceded a lot in several matches before that. This game will likely see Botafogo as the side that has to open up and attack, because the visitors tend to have more of the ball and push the game high. Mirassol, meanwhile, will likely wait to counter into the space the other side leaves behind, and that is the kind of situation that makes the game more likely to turn into a trading of blows than to end with few goals.
