Prediction

  • There was good news for Botafogo in midweek: Grêmio winning Copa Libertadores means the team that finishes eighth in Série A will be in South America's top competition next term.
  • That's the spot O Glorioso currently occupy, so a victory here would seal the deal – and a draw may be enough depending on results elsewhere.
  • Cruzeiro don't have a great deal to play for and were turned over by Vasco da Gama last weekend.
