Prediction

  • Botafogo lead the way in Brazil by six points coming into this one – this could be decreased to three points should Palmeiras overcome Gremio on Friday evening. Fogo come into this match on the back of an impressive 3-0 victory over Vasco Da Gama in midweek.
  • Cuiaba sit in the drop zone and are without a win in their last four matches with two draws and two losses. Last time out, they drew 0-0 with Red Bull Bragantino in a dull affair. They will be eager to return to winning ways in this one, but with Botafogo on fire, their chances are slim.
