In the Serie B meeting between Botafogo FC SP and Avai FC held on 07 October 2023, Avai walked away with a narrow victory of 2-1. The statistical assessment from this fixture provides a clear insight into the facets of the game that determined its outcome.

In terms of goal scoring opportunities, both Botafogo FC SP and Avai FC were level pegging. Botafogo had a total of 7 shots (3 on target and 4 off target), whereas Avai had 7 shots as well (4 on target and 3 off target). Despite the similar stats, Avai was able to convert their chances more efficiently, scoring 2 goals from their 4 shots on target. Botafogo, on the other hand, could only manage a single goal from their 1 assist, implying that Avai's defence was more solid and their goalkeeping was better, as evidenced by the 2 saves their goalkeeper made.

The game was well-disciplined, evidenced by the absence of any yellow or red cards from either side. There was an almost equal number of fouls from both teams (Botafogo 4, Avai 3), indicating a closely fought contest.

Botafogo made more use of their width, taking 5 corner kicks as compared to Avai's 2. However, they seemed unable to convert these opportunities into goals, a factor that may have affected the match outcome. Avai, even though they had lesser corners, better utilized their chances, proving to be more clinical.

Botafogo’s advantage in the game was shown in the fact that they utilized three substitutions, showing their depth in the bench. Avai managed with only two changes, which could imply their starters were more effective or their tactical gameplay was superior.

In conclusion, despite having virtually the same number of opportunities, Avai FC outperformed Botafogo FC SP in terms of goalscoring efficiency and defensive solidity, which were the decisive factors in their 2-1 victory.
