The recently-promoted Avai is yet to win away from home in 2022. Eduardo Barroca's men have failed to find a single victory in their twelve previous visits. For the upcoming meeting, Avai will visit the city of Rio de Janeiro to face Botafogo RJ, the last year's second division champions. Botafogo is doing a solid job since its promotion to the top flight of Brazilian football, but is in poor form right now. The hosts are just a point away from the relegation zone, and will need a triumph vs. Avai if they wish to climb the ladder. Avai is sitting in eighteenth place, and has been in terrible shape lately.

Avai continues a five-game winless streak, coming from a 2-1 loss against Atletico GO. The visitors lost four of the last five matches, and are not confident about taking points in this clash. The team from the south of Brazil travels to this game without two players - Matheus Galdezani and Diego Rodrigues de Matos. Avai finished fourth-placed in Serie B last season, which was enough for them to earn a promotion to the first division. However, the squad is not performing well this year, and could be troubled with only a one-year stay in this league.

Botafogo RJ raised the Serie B title in 2021, and is chasing Copa Sudamericana league spots, which start from the twelfth place. The hosts could enter the top twelve with a triumph here. Luis Castro's team lost its last three matches, the last one being a 4-0 away defeat against the continental champions Palmeiras. Before a surprising drop in form, Botafogo was playing great football, being on an eight-game unbeaten run. There is no doubt the club will attempt to put an end to this short series of unwanted results, and will give its best to defeat Avai in the upcoming game. I expect the hosts to win. Good luck!

刚刚晋级的阿瓦伊队还没有赢得2022年的客场比赛。爱德华多·巴罗卡的球队在之前的12次客场比赛中没有取得一场胜利。在即将到来的会议中，阿瓦伊将访问里约热内卢，面对去年的二级联赛冠军博塔弗戈RJ。博塔弗戈在提升到巴西足球顶级联赛后做得很好，但现在状态很差。东道主离降级区只有一分之遥，如果他们想要晋级，就需要战胜阿瓦伊。阿瓦伊排在第18位，最近的状态很糟糕。

阿瓦伊在1比2输给马竞后，继续了五连胜。客队在最近的五场比赛中输掉了四场，他们对在这场比赛中拿分没有信心。这支来自巴西南部的球队没有两名球员——加尔德扎尼和德马托斯。阿瓦伊队上赛季在乙级联赛中获得了第四名，这足以让他们升入甲级联赛。然而，这支球队今年的表现并不好，可能会因为只留在这个联赛一年而受到困扰。

博塔弗戈RJ在2021年提高了乙级联赛冠军，并正在追逐从第12名开始的南美杯联赛席位。东道主可以在这里取得胜利，进入前12名。路易斯·卡斯特罗的球队输掉了最近三场比赛，最后一场是客场0 - 4输给了欧洲冠军帕尔梅拉斯。在状态意外下滑之前，博塔弗戈踢得很好，八场不败。毫无疑问，俱乐部将试图结束这一系列不受欢迎的结果，并将在接下来的比赛中竭尽全力击败阿瓦伊。我希望东道主能赢。好运！
