Team News

Ceara
Botafogo RJ
  • Fabinho, Fernando Sobral, Luiz Otávio, Tiago Pagnussat, Bruno Pacheco and Cléber have all been sent on holiday to prepare for the State Championship's in March.
  • Botafogo should go with the same XI that beat Sao Paulo last time out.
  • Kanu returns from suspension.

Prediction

  • Ceara confirmed their place in next seasons Copa Sudamericana with a comfortable 2-0 away victory against already-relegated Coritiba, ending a four-game spell without victory. They now come into the final match with no pressure.
  • Botafogo tasted victory at home for the first time since 8th October 2020 and their first of any kind since December 20th in their 1-0 victory over Sao Paulo. Like Ceara, Botafogo come into the final game with nothing to play for as they are already relegated.
