4 months after their last face-off in Serie A, tensions run high as Botafogo and Fortaleza meet again. In their last encounter, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 1-1 draw. Approaching this game, Botafogo are coming off two straight draws against Bahia and Palmeiras, bringing their unbeaten streak to four.

In their last three matches, Fortaleza emerged victorious against Corinthians, Rosario Central and RB Bragantino, giving them confidence as they approach this game, bringing their unbeaten streak to twelve. Though notably, their defense has shown cracks, conceding goals in their last ten away matches in a row.

This Serie A clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Botafogo and Fortaleza in this campaign. Junior Santos and Jefferson Savarino have been pivotal for Botafogo’s attack, carefully orchestrated by Artur Jorge, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Botafogo’s top scorer in Serie A, Savarino, has four goals this season, and is also the team’s top assist provider, with seven key passes leading to goals so far this term. Tiquinho Soares, Luiz Henrique and Igor Jesus have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Botafogo’s attack.

Meanwhile, Fortaleza’s attacking options, under Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s guidance, have been bolstered by Juan Lucero, the team’s top scorer, and Tomas Pochettino, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Lucero has already scored seven goals in Serie A this season, while Pochettino remains their top assist provider in the competition with four.
