Match preview: Botafogo SP vs Volta Redonda

Botafogo SP and Volta Redonda will face off at the Santa Cruz stadium in a crucial match for the 16th round of Serie B. The recent head-to-head record leans in favour of the home side, who have won all of the last three encounters. The most recent clash on 25 September 2022 saw Botafogo SP emerge victorious with a score of 2-1. Attention must be paid to the home and away performances, as both teams have demonstrated markedly different records in their respective home and away games.

Team analysis: Botafogo SP

The home team currently sits in 16th place, having accumulated 16 points from 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses. In their penultimate match, they secured a 1-0 victory away against Cuiabá, but followed that with a 0-0 draw at home to Novorizontino. This team generally performs better at home, as evidenced by their last 30 matches; they have achieved 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses as visitors, scoring 13 goals and conceding 20. In contrast, they have 4 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses at home, netting 11 times while allowing 13 goals.

In their last 8 home games in the league, they have recorded 2 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses, earning 10 points from a possible 24. Remarkably, they have not lost at their stadium for 4 matches in this competition. At home, the most common scoreline at halftime has been 0-0 (3 out of 8 games), and there is a tendency for low scores, with 4 of their last 8 matches ending with fewer than 1.5 goals. Across 15 games this season, they found themselves conceding first on 8 occasions, managing to come back just once. A noteworthy statistic is that out of their last 15 matches, they scored 5 of their 10 goals within the first 15 minutes of play.

Botafogo-SP enters this match under pressure, knowing they must secure points to avoid relegation. Although the team has struggled offensively, they tend to be more competitive at home and exhibit solid defensive organisation. Given the significance of this encounter, their strategy will likely focus on caution and defensive marking. Each point is vital at this stage, and the team is well aware that a misstep could prove costly. The expectation is for a measured performance, even if the match lacks flair.

Team analysis: Volta Redonda

The visiting side is currently in 18th place, having gathered 14 points from 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses. In their penultimate fixture, they clinched a 1-0 victory at home against Operário PR, but in their most recent match, they suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Coritiba. This team tends to thrive at home, where they have 7 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses, scoring 12 goals and conceding 8. However, away from home, they have struggled, recording just 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses in their last 30 matches, with a goal tally of 10 scored against 23 conceded. In the league, Volta Redonda has only managed to collect 2 points from a possible 24 from their last 8 away games, resulting in 2 draws and 6 losses.

This team has not won away in this competition for 8 matches. Half-time results have been consistent in their away games, with 0-0 occurring 3 times in 7 games, and 1-0 showing up 3 times as well; while they have lost 2-0 on 3 occasions at the end of 90 minutes. Their recent matches have generally seen low scoring, with 7 of the last 8 games featuring fewer than 3 goals. In 15 games this season, they have never managed to turn a match around after conceding the first goal in the 9 instances where that occurred.

Volta Redonda finds themselves in the relegation zone and views this match as a crucial opportunity to escape the lower part of the table. A victory away from home could significantly change their fortunes, providing much-needed momentum. The team has been combative but continues to lack consistency. This match is likely to be tightly contested, demanding extra focus on set pieces and any errors made by the opposition. The goal here is simply to accumulate points, even if the performance does not impress, as the current situation calls for results above all else.
