Team News

Vasco da Gama
Botafogo RJ
  • Mateus Carvalho and David are suspended.
  • Rafael, Jeffinho, Junior Santos and Matheus Nascimento are still recovering from injuries.
  • Jefferson Savarino is with the Venezuela national team.
  • Gregore and Óscar Romero can return from bans.

Prediction

  • This is the latest edition of the Clássico Alvinegro as the two Rio de Janeiro sides lock horns.
  • After a 4-1 win over Sao Paulo, Vasco da Gama returned to losing ways last time out as they were beaten 2-1 away from home against Bahia. Vasco currently sit in 15th place and will be keen on bouncing back.
  • Botafogo bounced back following two matches without a win by seeing off Red Bull Bragantino in a 2-1 home win on Tuesday. They will be eager to do something similar in this inner Rio de Janeiro battle.
