Match preview: Sport vs Botafogo

Sport and Botafogo clash at the Adelmar da Costa Carvalho Stadium, in a duel that marks the 15th round of Brazileirão Serie A. There is no recent record of direct encounters between the two sides, as they have not faced each other in the last three years. Their most recent match was on 5 February 2021, which ended with Botafogo winning 1-0 against Sport Recife. The home advantage may play a crucial role, as Botafogo has shown inconsistencies in performances at home and away.

Team analysis: Sport

The home team currently sits in 20th place with just 3 points, having drawn 3 times and lost 9 matches. In their penultimate match, they lost 1-0 away to Mirassol, followed by another defeat to Juventude (2-0) in their last outing. Sport’s performance at home is not significantly better than away, as evidenced by their last 30 matches, which include 5 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses as visitors, scoring 13 and conceding 18, while at home, they managed 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses with 21 goals for and 16 against. Over their last 5 home games in the league, Sport has recorded 2 draws and 3 losses, gaining only 2 points from a possible 15.

In this tournament, they have not won any of the last 12 games played. Moreover, the team has allowed goals in 9 of the last 10 games, indicating their defensive weaknesses. Sport often struggles to score first, having only managed to take the lead in 3 of their last 12 matches, and failed to hold on to their lead in any of those instances until the final whistle. In 12 games this season, they could not revert any of the 7 matches where they conceded the first goal.

Sport is going through a challenging phase in the Brazileirão and sits at the bottom of the table. Their performance is concerning, characterised by an ineffective attack and a defence that is frequently exposed. Even at home, they lack the advantage and need to significantly change their approach to achieve a positive result. While home support could be vital, without proper organisation and intensity, the issues are likely to worsen. They must respond swiftly to keep their hopes of survival alive.

Team analysis: Botafogo

Currently, the visiting team ranks 6th position, having earned 21 points from 6 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. In their last match, they drew with Vitória at home (0-0), preceded by a 2-0 victory against Vasco da Gama away. The home advantage significantly affects Botafogo’s performances, as they have recorded 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses away from home, scoring 6 and conceding 9 goals. In contrast, they’ve performed strongly at home with 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, totalising 28 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last 7 away games in the league, Botafogo recorded 2 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, amassing 8 points out of a possible 21. In their away matches, there is a trend of few goals, with 26 of the last 35 fixtures featuring fewer than 3 goals. In the 13 encounters this season, Botafogo has never overturned the score in the 4 games where they conceded the initial goal.

Botafogo approaches this fixture understanding the critical need for a victory, especially following their recent setback. They are aware that playing away demands additional focus, yet the opponent’s weaknesses present a genuine opportunity for recovery. With a more capable squad and in better form, Botafogo should aim to control the match from the outset, establishing their rhythm and exploiting gaps left by their rivals. Despite acknowledging Sport’s capabilities, Botafogo is favoured to win and cannot afford to drop points.
