In the last direct confrontation for this edition of the league, on 04-17-2018, the two teams drew 1-1. The history of recent direct clashes is favorable to the home team, which has 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 6 games. In this meeting the house factor may play an important role, since Botafogo presents significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
