Team News

Botafogo RJ
Internacional
  • Botafogo captain Rodrigo Lindoso should return to the XI here.
  • He was suspended for the 1-0 midweek win over Chapecoense.
  • Veteran midfielder Dudu Cearense is likely to drop to the bench.
  • Right-back Fabiano serves a ban after picking up his third booking of the season.
  • Former Santos man Zeca is the natural replacement for him.
  • Andrés D'Alessandro is available after missing the América-MG game through suspension.

Prediction

  • Botafogo will feel they can breathe easily at least after beating Chapecoense in midweek, a result that took them seven points clear of the drop zone.
  • That should be more than enough to ensure their safety, not least because so many sides below them are struggling to put results together.
  • Internacional are doing all they can to keep the pressure up on Palmeiras at the top, but it looks increasingly likely to be in vain.
