Team News

Botafogo RJ
Vitoria
  • Centre-back Joel Carli serves a ban after picking up three yellow cards.
  • Marcelo Benevenuto and Yago are the main options to replace him.
  • Marcelo and Ezequiel are available after injury.
  • Vitória must do without centre-back Kanu this weekend.
  • He is suspended after being booked for the third time this season.
  • Ramon is the most likely stand-in.

Prediction

  • After a tough set of home games at the start of the season – Palmeiras, Grêmio, Fluminense – Botafogo will be keen to kick on as the fixture list softens up.
  • O Glorioso have claimed seven points from those three games, so should be confident of seeing off Bahia, plus Ceará next time out.
  • But the Lions have won two on the spin and look a different proposition with veteran goal-plunderer André Lima leading the line.
