Prediction

  • Botafogo lead the way in the Brasileirao by three points. In midweek, their five match winning run came to an end, but they will be fairly content with their showing as they drew 2-2 with Sao Paulo on the road. They'll be eager to return to winning ways in this one.
  • After a 2-0 loss to Palmeiras, Cruzeiro responded in style with a 2-0 home victory over Juventude, a result that moved them up to fifth place. They'll be kean on making it two wins on the spin here.
