Figueirense show quite inconsistent results in Brazil elite division. The visiting side have gained 12 points after nine matches and sit on the 12th place in the league. The team has equal number of wins, draws and defeats, three of each. At the same time, away form of the team is quite disappointing as today’s visitors have gained only one point in four matches with 3-6 goal difference. The team is one three-match losing streak in away matches before the upcoming clash.
Figueirense have notable advantage in recent head-to-heads between the teams. Botafogo are unable to beat their opponents in last five meetings, losing four of them. However, it’s still hard to pick a favorite if the clash as the opponents might surprise. However, the match shouldn’t feature numerous goals considering scoring record of the opponents in this season.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
