Prediction

Goias played out a classic with Bahia last time out, a late goal from Fernandao ensured Verdão didn’t leave empty-handed in a six-goal thriller. It could all mean nothing if Goias lose here and Bahia beat Atletico-MG, as that scenario would mean Goias will be relegated to the second tier. With their opponents in horrendous form, Goias will be confident of keeping their survival hopes alive.
Botafogo’s misery continued in midweek as they were beaten 5-2 at home by Gremio. In truth, Serie B can’t come quick enough for the already relegated club. They will be hoping they can at least end their season on a high. Botafogo haven't won any of their last nine matches.
