Team News

Atletico MG
Botafogo RJ
  • Levir Culpi welcomes back Adilson, who missed the game against Santos last week.
  • Zé Welison should also be in the squad after returning from injury.
  • Iago Maidana is likely to start in defence after serving a ban.
  • Marcos Vinícius and Kieza are expected to start this weekend.
  • And Matheus Fernandes is available again after serving a ban last week.
  • Leo Valencia is suspended and Joel Carli misses out due to injury.

Prediction

  • Atlético are one of the few sides with something concrete to play for this weekend, with a place in next year's Copa Libertadores up for grabs.
  • A win here would guarantee it, and a draw may also be sufficient, depending on how Atlético Paranaense get on against Flamengo in Rio.
  • Botafogo will be delighted to be safe and sound in midtable, their superb late-season spurt of form having taken them well away from the relegation scrap.
