Team analysis: Athletico PR

The home side currently occupies 7th place in the league, having amassed 9 points from 3 victories and 2 defeats.

Athletico PR tends to perform better at home, boasting a record of 9 wins, 4 draws, and only 2 losses in their last 15 home matches, scoring 27 goals and conceding just 13. However, they have conceded goals in 4 of their last 5 games, indicating some defensive vulnerabilities. They have scored at least once in each of their last 5 matches in this competition. In their 15 games so far, they have fallen behind first 4 times, managing to overturn the deficit only once. A notable trend is that they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between the 31st and 45th minutes. While Athletico-PR’s campaign in Série B has been respectable, they are well aware that they need to exhibit more consistency to break into the G-4 and contend for promotion. Playing at home against a relegation-threatened opponent who is still searching for their first win, Athletico-PR is favoured to secure all three points. The expectation is for them to take control of the match and exploit the weaknesses of their rivals.

In their last 10 away matches, Botafogo SP has only managed to secure 1 win, with 3 draws and 6 losses. They are currently on a five-match winless streak in this competition. Defensive solidity has been a concern for them, as they have allowed at least one goal in each of their last 5 games.
