Match preview: Avaí vs Botafogo SP
Avaí and Botafogo SP will clash at the Aderbal Ramos da Silva stadium in the 19th round of Série B. Historical encounters at this venue lean in favour of the visitors, who have won 1 and drawn 2 of their last 3 fixtures here. However, their most recent duel at this ground ended in a 1-1 stalemate on 31 July 2024, with goals from Pedro Castro (83’ for Avaí) and Fillipe Soutto (90’ for Botafogo SP). Both teams’ differing performances at home and away will play a significant role in this match, as the home advantage is often crucial in their results.
Team analysis: Avaí
The home side is currently positioned 9th in the table, having amassed 25 points from 6 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses. Their last outing saw them share points with Vila Nova at home (1-1), followed by a loss to Remo (2-1) on the road. Avaí tends to perform better on home turf, with a record of 4 wins, 4 draws, and 1 defeat in their last 9 home matches for this tournament, earning 16 points from a possible 27. Historically, the most common score at half-time in their home matches has been 0-0 in 5 out of 9 games. Although their defence has shown vulnerability, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches, their attack maintains regular scoring, having found the net in 8 of the same 10 fixtures. Despite suffering the first goal in 5 out of 18 matches, they have yet to turn around any deficits successfully.
Under pressure from a string of frustrating results, Avaí is aware that they can ill afford to drop points, especially on home soil. A victory here would not only boost their morale but also offer them a chance to claw back towards the upper reaches of the table. Given their status as favourites against the league’s bottom side, it is vital for them to convert this into on-pitch performance, with meticulous attention to detail essential for achieving the desired outcome. A win could herald a turnaround in their fortunes.
Team analysis: Botafogo SP
After a disappointing sequence of results, with 4 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses, the visiting team finds themselves at the foot of the table with 18 points. They recently suffered a home loss to Criciuma (0-2) followed by another defeat against Amazonas (0-3) away. Botafogo SP appears stronger at their home ground, having secured 2 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses over their last 30 away matches. Their recent campaign away has yielded only 7 points from 24 available, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses in their last 8 fixtures on the road. Notably, the most common half-time scoreline in their away games has been 0-0 (4 out of 8 matches). During this season, they have only managed to come back to win once after conceding first.
Botafogo SP is currently in a precarious position and faces a formidable challenge away from home against a resurgent opponent. To have a chance of success, they must tighten their defence and display greater competitiveness. Despite facing tough odds, they will aim to hold their ground and exploit counterattacks as their primary strategy. Gaining even a point from this match could bolster their confidence as they look to improve their standings. While the task will be demanding, the team is determined to give their all for a surprise result.
