Preview
Cruzeiro and Botafogo SP face , in a match for the 1st round of the Serie B. There is no recent record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams. The last head‑to‑head was played on 11‑08‑2001 and ended with the final score: Botafogo SP (1‑4) Cruzeiro.

Analysis Cruzeiro

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 17th and suffered relegation. In their last match, for the Mineiro 1, they got a home loss against Coimbra by (0‑1). In the last 10 home matches Cruzeiro has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 11 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 6 of their 15 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

2019 was a very bad year for Cruzeiro, as it was involved in controversies and had numerous administrative errors. This meant that the relegation to the second division ended up happening. For the first time in its history it will compete in B Series and the focus, despite being in great debt, is to return to the elite. So they have to take advantage of home games to win. Therefore, it is expected that they will impose themselves and seek the three points in their debut.

Confirmed Lineup: Fábio, Raúl Cáceres, Léo, Cacá, Giovanni, Régis, Alejandro Cabral, Mauricio, Jadson, Marcelo Moreno, Stênio Zanetti Toledo.

Analysis Botafogo SP

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 9th last season. In their last match, for the Paulista A1, they got an away loss against Oeste by (3‑0). In the last 10 away matches Botafogo SP has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

By a slim margin Botafogo-SP was not demoted in the São Paulo championship and that served as a warning. During Series B they will need to show a different attitude, after all they will need to have consistency to at least guarantee their stay. Points must be added at home and away from their stadium, as at the end of the competition those can make a difference. They will debut away from home and against Cruzeiro, so if they can draw, they will be well under way.

Confirmed Lineup: Darley Torres, Gilson, Jordan, Naldo, Valdemir, Matheus Anjos, Victor Bolt, Ronald, Wellington, Rafinha.
