Prediction

  • Two sides from Rio come into this derby at separate ends of the table. Botafogo are flying high, while Vasco sit in the relegation zone, a position they'll be eager to lift themselves out of.
  • Botafogo have won their last three league matches. Last time out, Fogo made a huge statement by beating champions Palmeiras 1-0 in their own backyard. In midweek, Botafogo drew 1-1 with Magallanes in the Copa Sudamericana. They currently lead the way in Brazil by seven points.
  • Vasco da Gama have had extra time to prepare for this one, something they should look to use to their advantage. Last time out, Vasco ended a run of 10 matches without a win by seeing off Cuiaba 1-0 at home.
