Team News

Palmeiras
Botafogo RJ
  • Palmeiras are likely to play a rotated XI here due to their Club World Cup commitments.
  • Barros and Fernandez all miss out through injury here.
  • Once again 16-year-old Matheus Nascimento could start in attack.
  • Talks between Botafogo and Cruz Azul for the sale of Kanu have cooled down and he is likely to remain at the Rio club.
  • Botafogo will use a few youth team players after several first-team players turned up late to training.

Prediction

  • It was a weekend to remember for Palmeiras who became champions of South America for the second time, thanks to a goal right at the death from Breno Lopes. Palmeiras have now qualified for the 2021 Copa Libertadores and their attention now turns to the Copa do Brasil and Club World Cup. They are due to play in Qatar on Sunday, meaning they are likely to play a second-string side here.
  • Botafogo already look like they are going to be playing in the second tier of Brazilian football next season but, it's important that they go out on a high. The away side are winless in their last six matches and sit rock bottom of the standings.
