Botafogo SP and Sport Recife meet in Serie B with seven points separating them in the table, but both come off a win in their latest match. Botafogo SP won 2-0, while Sport Recife won 2-1, so neither side carries the pressure of a defeat into this game. The hosts are in a spell where their defence is working well, on a winning run and keeping clean sheets in three of those games, while Sport Recife are a team that scores consistently but also conceded in every match over the same stretch. Their away games therefore tend to finish with goals for both sides. This game is likely to open with both teams feeling each other out before Botafogo SP try to settle into the solid shape they have shown lately, while Sport Recife should see a little more of the ball given their higher average possession over their last ten matches. If the hosts do not concede early, the game should flow in a direction where the home side control the situation, and that is what to watch from kick-off.
