Team News

Botafogo RJ
Atletico MG
  • Centre-back Joel Carli serves a suspension here and will need replacing.
  • Renan Fonseca and Emerson Silva are the main options for Jair Ventura.
  • Bruno Silva is back in contention after a ban of his own.
  • Marcelo Oliveira could name the same XI that beat América-MG.
  • That would mean Lucas Pratto biding his time on the bench again despite scoring on Thursday.
  • Juan Cazares is likely to be disciplined after returning late from international duty.

Prediction

  • Two of the form sides in the division go head to head on Sunday as Botafogo host Atlético Mineiro.
  • The Rio side have enjoyed a staggeringly good 'segundo turno', going from relegation scrappers to real candidates for the Libertadores spots.
  • The Galo, meanwhile, still have half a chance of challenging for the title, although they remain outsiders for now.
