Goal Statistics

Sao Paulo's defensive record is very strong, L. Zubeldía's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Serie A matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Botafogo makes sense in this context.

With a PG of just 0.8, Sao Paulo look set to struggle here. Add in the fact that Botafogo haven't conceded a goal in 4 consecutive Serie A games, and it could be a long night for L. Zubeldía's men.
