Team News

Botafogo RJ
Ceara
  • Gilson and Pimpão remain injured and miss out.
  • Diego Souza, Luiz Fernando and Cícero will miss Botafogo's last match of 2019 due to an accumulation of bookings. Vinícius Tanque should start as a result.
  • On the other hand, Alex Santana is expected to be restored to the starting XI after serving a ban.
  • Fabinho, João Lucas and Lima will miss out as they are suspended.
  • Valdo and Eduardo Brock will compete for a starting spot at centre-back here.

Prediction

  • Botafogo have already secured top-flight competition next season, but are still aiming for a Copa Sudamericana spot in 2020.
  • After being defeated by Corinthians, Ceará are still in danger of being relegated. However, they only need a draw from Sunday to remain in Serie A.
  • Both teams have something to fight for, but a draw might be enough for both sides to reach their goals, which makes this result the likeliest scenario for Sunday.
