Team News

Botafogo RJ
Parana Clube
  • Centre-back Joel Carli is back after serving a ban in midweek.
  • Marcelo can expect to drop to the bench after filling in against Santos.
  • Matheus Fernandes is suspended, so Dudu Cearense could get another start.
  • Dado Cavalcanti has no new personnel issues this weekend.
  • Jhonny Lucas is back after playing for Brazil's U20 side over the last fortnight.
  • Keslley and Rafael Grampola could return after missing out against Ceará.

Prediction

  • The way Botafogo have romped away from the relegation zone in the last month surely bodes well for their prospects under Zé Ricardo next season.
  • O Glorioso have taken 13 points from their last five games, the 1-1 draw away to Santos the latest in an impressive – and somewhat unexpected – sequence.
  • There's a good chance they'll extend it against Paraná, who have shown some resistance in the last few games, but far too late for it to matter.
