Team News

Botafogo RJ
Athletico Paranaense
  • Rafael, Marçal, Jeffinho, Eduardo and Matheus Nascimento are still recovering from injuries.
  • Tiquinho Soares is expected to return here after missing the last match due to the death of his father.
  • Jefferson Savarino is with the Venezuela national team.
  • Bento and Canobbio are away at the Copa America.
  • Mycael is suspended after receiving a red card while on the bench at the weekend.

Prediction

  • Botafogo have won their last three league matches following their 2-1 victory away from home against Gremio last time out. Fogo will be keen on making it four on the bounce here. Their victory at the weekend places them top of the Brasileirao.
  • Athletico Paranaense conceded late on as they drew 1-1 with Flamengo at home last time out. They will be eager to put that behind them in this duel here. Athletico currently sit in fourth place but need to improve their recent form having won only one of their last five in all competitions.
