Team News

Sao Paulo
Botafogo RJ

  • Luiz Gustavo can return after missing the weekend match due to a ban.
  • Rafael, Eduardo, Cuiabano, Júnior Santos and Jeffinho miss out through injury.

Prediction

  • Sao Paulo are winless in their last two following last week's goalless draw and a 3-1 loss to Internacional in midweek. They will be eager for a better display here. They will be fairly happy with their performance last week to gain a 0-0 draw away from home and will now be looking to use home advantage in this one.
  • Botafogo are in a great position at the moment sitting top of the Brasleirao and are unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions. Following the 0-0 draw last time out, Fogo ran out 1-0 winners against fellow Rio rivals Fluminense. They will now be aiming for a place in the Copa Libertadores Semi-Finals for the first time since 1973.
  • The last three meetings between these sides have ended in a draw, something that is on the cards in this one.
