Team News

Botafogo RJ
Ponte Preta
  • Victor Luis and Airton are both back after serving suspensions.
  • But right-back Alemão has been ruled out with a knee problem.
  • Youngster Marcinho looks set to fill in for him.
  • Wendel serves a suspension after picking up three yellow cards.
  • Ravanelli looks set to take his spot in midfield.
  • William Pottker is likely to play down the middle, having started wide against Fluminense.

Prediction

  • Botafogo are in danger of letting all their hard work go to waste in the final stages of the Série A campaign.
  • The Rio side are still in the final Libertadores spot, but two defeats on the spin have offered encouragement to the chasing pack.
  • Ponte Preta don't have a great deal to play for, however, so a home win looks the most likely outcome here.
