📋 Team News: Santos

Yeferson Soteldo (Hamstring muscle injury), João Schmidt (Hamstring injury), Aderlan (Hamstring injury) and Diego Pituca (Achilles tendon problems) won’t be available for Santos manager Cléber Xavier.

It looks as if Peixe will possibly use the 4-2-3-1 system for the game and select Gabriel Brazão, Leonardo Godoy, Gil, Zé Ivaldo, Gonzalo Escobar, Tomas Rincon, Zé Rafael, Alvaro Barreal, Benjamín Rollheiser, Neymar Jr and Deivid Washington.

📋 Team News: Botafogo

Botafogo boss Renato Paiva has not got a full squad to pick from. David Ricardo (Thigh problems), Matheus Martins (Hamstring injury) and Bastos (Knee injury) are not ready for selection.

It’s our belief that Fogão seem likely to play in a 4-4-2 lineup, starting the game with John, Vitinho, Jair Cunha, Alexander Barboza, Alex Telles, Artur, Gregore, Marlon Freitas, Jefferson Savarino, Rwan Cruz and Igor Jesus.

In our view, Botafogo and Santos could well end up finding themselves level here, with both teams capable of netting.

It appears that a draw might be on the cards. We’re therefore predicting a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of this one.
