Prediction

  • This game could blow the title race in Brazil wide open.
  • Palmeiras have won their last three matches and sit six points behind league leaders Botafogo. Last time out, they earned a narrow home win against Bahia. They would love to pick up the three points here and close the gap to just three points, albeit having played a game extra.
  • Botafogo are winless in their last two matches and have seen the teams below them take an advantage. They will now be hoping to avoid defeat here to stop any further panic. At the weekend, they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Cuiaba.
