Botafogo RJ
Criciuma

Prediction

  • One point behind Goiás going into the final day, Botafogo will be desperate to win this game.
  • A draw could be enough to put them into the Libertadores, but a victory would really put the pressure on the Emeralds.
  • Criciúma are not out of danger at the bottom, but a narrow win over São Paulo has pulled them clear of the relegation zone.
