Analysis Botafogo SP
The home team comes to this second round after a draw in their debut in this group stage against Velo Clube (0-0).

In their last 10 home games, Botafogo SP has recorded 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. Their home games tend to see few goals, as 12 of their last 25 matches concluded with fewer than 1.5 goals, and 17 of 25 finished with fewer than 2.5 goals. This is a team that rarely scores first, having only opened the scoring in 3 of their last 15 matches, and they have never gone into halftime ahead. In 15 matches, they have never turned the result around in the 9 games where they conceded the first goal.
Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto started the Paulistão with a draw and sits in the middle of the table, showing a balanced performance in their debut.
