Prediction

  • Cruzeiro suffered a 3-1 loss to Atletico Mineiro at home in the state championship final at the weekend, before a 3-3 draw with Alianza Petrolera in the Copa Sudamericana in midweek. They'll be hoping for an improvement here. Last season, Cruzeiro finished 14th in the Brasileirao.
  • Botafogo looked like they were going to romp to a league title last season before a horrendous second half of the year saw them drop to fifth place. They will be hoping for an improvement having suffered back-to-back losses in the Copa Libertadores, the most recent coming against LDU Quito away from home.
