Team News

Atletico MG
Botafogo RJ
  • Elias is back after suspension and should play in midfield.
  • There should also be a start for Romulo Otero, in place of Juan Cazares.
  • Fábio Santos' place is under threat from Mansur, meanwhile.
  • Jair Ventura must do without both Rodrigo Lindoso and Marcos Vinícius this weekend.
  • Both are banned after picking up three yellow cards.
  • Matheus Fernandes and Leonardo Valencia are possible replacements.

Prediction

  • There's an almighty scrap developing for the final Libertadores qualification spot, and Botafogo are just about winning it at present.
  • The Rio side picked up a fine win over league leaders Corinthians last weekend, brining them level with Cruzeiro with eight rounds to play.
  • Atlético Mineiro could yet have a say in that battle, especially if they use their fine derby win as a catalyst for a good run.
