Athletic Club and Botafogo SP meet in Serie B, with the hosts having just won 2-0 in their last match, while the visitors just lost 1-3, so the two sides clearly head in opposite directions. This season Athletic Club have 10 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses, scoring 33 and conceding 30 - the attack is serviceable but the defence is not tight. Botafogo SP have 8 wins, 7 draws and 13 losses, scoring 31 and conceding 35 - the numbers are similar but the visitors concede more, and they have lost their recent matches in a row. This game is interesting because Botafogo SP have to come out and play more solidly to stop their losing habit, while Athletic Club control the game a little more at home. But in the last three meetings the hosts won them all 2-0, 2-1 and 3-0, so the visitors must be careful at the back. The game is likely to see both sides attacking in turn without being a fully open exchange.
