Week 38 brings us a match on Nov 28th, where Guarani and Botafogo will play a match in Rio de Janeiro in a meeting of these two Serie B teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Botafogo is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Brasil de Pelotas. Diego Gonçalves scored the first goal for Botafogo in the 21st minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Brasil de Pelotas couldn’t muster any offence and Botafogo ran away with the shutout win. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Botafogo should be reasonably happy with their performance, while guarani sits at 7th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-2 loss against Goiás. Elvis scored the first goal for Goiás in the 8th minute, then Nicolas added another in the 29th minute on a feed from Artur In the end, Guarani was frustrated by Goiás’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Goiás ended the match with the shutout victory. Guarani should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
