Prediction

  • After two matches without a win, Botafogo put in a solid display to defeat Palmeiras 2-1 at home in the Copa Libertadores. They will be eager to get back on track in the league against their rivals here. Their last league outing saw them suffer a 3-2 loss to Juventude.
  • A win for Flamengo here would see them leapfrog their opponents and potentially into top spot. They are winless in their last two league matches following a 1-1 draw with Palmeiras last time out. The Rubro Negro enjoyed a 2-0 win in midweek against Bolivar in the Copa Libertadores.
