In their last 10 home matches, Botafogo achieved 4 wins and suffered 6 losses. The defence has been vulnerable, having conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 matches, and the attack has been less than effective, with only 3 goals scored in their last 10 games. Notably, in 15 fixtures, they have never overturned a deficit after conceding the first goal. Additionally, in their last 20 home matches across all competitions, they scored 12 out of their 29 goals during the final minutes (76’–90′).

Team analysis: Juventude
The visiting team comes into this 2nd round after their opening league victory against Vitória, securing a 2-0 win. Juventude tends to perform better at home, evidenced by their record of 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses as visitors in the last 30 matches, compared to 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses at home. Over their last 10 away encounters, they achieved 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses. Their attack has been active, finding the net in 9 of the last 10 games. They have shown a tendency for high-scoring games, with 27 out of their last 30 encounters featuring more than 1.5 goals. In 13 matches, they have been unable to come back to win after conceding the first goal. Notably, in their last 20 away matches in all competitions, they conceded 11 out of their 31 goals in the late minutes (76’–90′).
This season, Juventude had a strong start in the Brazilian Championship.

Keeping up their standard will be key to returning home with at least a point from this match.
