Team News

Botafogo RJ
Vitoria
  • Jair Ventura must do without Roger and Arnaldo this weekend.
  • Both are suspended so there could be starts for Emerson and Brenner.
  • Rodrigo Pimpão is closing in on a return but he's out of this one.
  • Fernando Miguel and Caique Sá are both doubts for this one.
  • The goalkeeper and the right-back both missed training this week.
  • But Patric is back after a ban and may start.

Prediction

  • Their elimination from the Copa Libertadores hurt, but Botafogo have bounced back admirably in the league in the last few weeks.
  • The Rio side have won four games on the spin, staking a serious claim to finish in the top six and qualify for that competition again.
  • An away trip will hold no fear for relegation scrappers Vitória, though: six of their last seven wins have come away from home.
