Match preview: Atlético-MG vs Botafogo
Atlético-MG and Botafogo meet in a clash of the 5th round of the Brasileirão Serie A. Recent head-to-head records favour the visiting side, with Botafogo having won 4 of the last 7 encounters, alongside 1 draw and 2 losses. Their most recent match-up on 30-11-2024 saw Botafogo emerge victorious with a score of 1-3. It’s vital to analyse the home/away statistics, as Atlético-MG shows significantly different results at home compared to away.
Team analysis: Atlético-MG
Currently sitting in 16th place with just 2 points from 2 draws and 2 losses, the home team is struggling. They recently lost 2-0 to Santos away from home, following a home draw against Vitória (2-2). Atlético-MG tend to perform better in their own stadium, boasting a record of 7 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses at home in their last 30 matches, compared to 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses on the road. However, they have not won in their last 4 league matches and conceded goals in 3 of those games, indicating a frail defence. In 15 matches played, they have allowed the first goal 4 times and have yet to turn the match around. The home side is in a precarious position within the relegation zone and is in dire need of a victory to regain confidence and move off the bottom of the table.
Team analysis: Botafogo
The visiting team is in 10th place, having accumulated 4 points from 1 win, 2 draws, and 1 loss. They suffered a narrow defeat against Bragantino (1-0) in their penultimate match but managed to draw at home against São Paulo (2-2) in their latest outing. Botafogo tends to show little variation in performance whether playing home or away; their last 30 games record 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses as guests, with a tally of 12 goals scored and 14 conceded. In addition, they recorded 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses at home, netting 18 goals while allowing 19. Despite some fluctuation in form, Botafogo’s frontline appears capable of scoring, and they are looking to maintain momentum in their fight for the upper positions in the league. Focus and concentration will be essential as they prepare to face a team under pressure, hoping to control the match and avoid any surprises.
