Team News

Palmeiras
Botafogo RJ
  • Wholesale changes are unlikely after the draw at Atlético-MG.
  • Yerry Mina and Zé Roberto will be hoping to return to the XI after missing out in that one.
  • There are no new injuries or suspensions.
  • Victor Luis and Airton both serve bans after yellow cards in midweek.
  • Diogo Barbosa, who has been playing in midfield, should return to left-back.
  • That should mean starts for Dudu Cearense and Bruno Silva in the middle.

Prediction

  • After a long grind, Palmeiras are finally closing in on Brasileirão title glory – and could seal the deal this weekend.
  • That would require results elsewhere to go their way, but their four-point advantage looks imposing with three games left.
  • Botafogo turned in a disappointing performance against Chapecoense and will be keen to restore some pride here.
