Match preview: Botafogo vs Vitória
Botafogo and Vitória face off at Nilton Santos Stadium in a match corresponding to the 14th round of Brazileirão Serie A. Recent direct confrontations favour the home team, with Botafogo winning 3 and drawing 2 of the last 5 encounters. The most recent match between the two teams on 23 January 2024 ended in a 1-1 draw. It is vital to examine the home/away statistics, as Botafogo has delivered mixed results at home compared to their away performances.
Team analysis: Botafogo
The home team is currently in 6th place with 21 points, having achieved 6 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. In their penultimate match, they triumphed at home against Ceará (3-2). In their last outing, they secured a win away against Vasco da Gama (0-2). Botafogo is a team significantly strengthened by their home advantage, with a record of 11 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses at home, compared to their away record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses, scoring 30 goals and conceding 15 at home while managing only 6 goals and conceding 9 away. In their last 5 home matches in the league, Botafogo has recorded 4 wins and a draw, amassing 13 points from a possible 15.
This competition has seen no losses in their last 5 home games. Out of 12 matches in this league, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never managed to turn the score around. In their last 20 home games across all competitions, it is noteworthy that 14 of their 36 goals were scored between the 76th and 90th minutes.
Botafogo comes off a significant victory in their last encounter, fostering renewed confidence. The Rio de Janeiro side boasts superior individual and collective quality, particularly excelling in attack whilst maintaining a sturdy defence. Despite some fluctuations during the season, Botafogo’s overall performance offers a safer style of play and they are well-poised to continue their run of victories, particularly at home. Their squad is more accomplished than Vitória’s, which could prove to be a pivotal factor in this matchup.
Team analysis: Vitória
The visiting team currently stands in 17th place, having accumulated 11 points from 2 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew 0-0 at home against Cruzeiro. In their most recent match, they suffered a 1-0 defeat away against Internacional. This team is minimally influenced by home advantage, with similar results both home and away, recording 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 games as visitors, scoring 12 goals and conceding 13. At home, they registered 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, managing to score 14 goals while also conceding 14. In their last 7 matches in the league, Vitória has recorded 3 draws and 4 losses, collecting just 3 points out of a possible 21.
In this competition, they have gone 7 games without a win as visitors. The squad has allowed goals in 8 of their last 10 games in this league, indicating frailties in their defensive line. They rarely score the opening goal having only managed to do so in 2 of their last 13 Serie A matches, where out of those, they led at half-time in just 1 and managed to win at full-time in only 1. Throughout 13 matches in this competition, they’ve only managed to turn around 1 of the 9 games where they were trailing after conceding the first goal.
Vitória arrives for this fixture after a defeat which highlighted vulnerabilities in their defensive and attacking systems. The team urgently requires an improvement in their performance, especially in attack where they have struggled to convert chances into goals. For this encounter, they must reorganise and enhance their efficiency in both defensive and offensive transitions if they wish to secure a favourable outcome, particularly away from home.
