After clinching the Taca Rio in the Campeonato Carioca, Botafogo RJ has continued its impressive streak by making a strong start in Serie A, amassing nine points from the initial four rounds. Last weekend, Botafogo RJ made a shocking 2-0 win at Maracana against Flamengo. The home side had more ball possession and more shots on goal, but Botafogo RJ's chances were much better. They converted two opportunities and secured another victory.
Vitoria played exceptionally well in the Campeonato Baiano, where they clinched their 30th title in history. Still, Vitoria can hardly be satisfied with their start in Serie A, as they collected only one point from the first three matches. Last weekend, Vitoria lost 3-1 on the road against Cruzeiro. Leo Conde's team had an xG of only 0.33, so with that kind of performance, they couldn't expect much more than another defeat.
