It was just a point apiece for Fortaleza and Corinthians in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Corinthians, who had 18 shots on goal with 9 on target.  

Manager Juan Pablo Vojvoda will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.  

There will be mixed feelings from Leão do Pici, while they've been undefeated in their last 9 league games, they've drawn their last 3.

Failing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Bahia will have left the Botafogo squad feeling a little deflated.  In that game they had 55% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Bahia who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Botafogo recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.  

Danilo Barbosa will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Fortaleza in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Botafogo.
