Team News

Botafogo RJ
Cuiaba
  • Bastos can return from a ban.
  • Rafael is injured.
  • Allan, John, Júnior Santos, Marçal, Óscar Romero, Tchê Tchê and Igor Jesus are one yellow card away from suspension.
  • Fernando Sobral is out due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
  • Gustavo Sauer is not permitted to play against his parent club.
  • Alan Empereur is expected to remain out due to an issue with his left foot.

Prediction

  • Botafogo lead the way in Brazil by six points coming into this one – this could be decreased to three points should Palmeiras overcome Gremio on Friday evening. Fogo come into this match on the back of an impressive 3-0 victory over Vasco Da Gama in midweek.
  • Cuiaba sit in the drop zone and are without a win in their last four matches with two draws and two losses. Last time out, they drew 0-0 with Red Bull Bragantino in a dull affair. They will be eager to return to winning ways in this one, but with Botafogo on fire, their chances are slim.
