Botafogo RJ Team News
Botafogo is the best team in the Brazilian championship, and after twelve matches played, they recorded ten wins and only two losses. With a total goal difference of 20:7, they are the best defense in the league and among the most efficient teams.
In the previous five matches, Botafogo recorded four wins and one loss. They defeated America MG 2:0, Fortaleza 2:0, Cuiaba 0:1, and big rival Palmeiras 1:0 away, while one of the two defeats this season was recorded against Athletico-PR away.
By winning this match, Botafogo RJ would maintain a seven-point advantage over the second-placed Gremio, and we believe that, carried by that motive, they will triumph against Vasco.

Vasco Team News
After a shocking relegation in 2020 to Serie B, Vasco returned to the top tier of Brazilian football this season. However, this year’s results cast doubt that the former champion could move to a lower rank again.
Before this round, Vasco is in 18th place in the table, with three points less than Cuiaba, which is in the safe zone. The visitors found themselves in this position primarily thanks to a terrible streak of ten matches without a win, in which they recorded only three draws and as many as seven defeats. However, the victory in the previous round against the direct competitor in the fight for survival, Cuiaba, gives them hope, and the hosts believe that these three points will help Vasco to start with better games.
Vasco knows that their chances in the duel are small and that winning points in the next two rounds are crucial against teams from the lower half of the table, Cruzeiro at home and away against America MG. However, the visitors will not come to Botafogo with a white flag, and we believe they will fight to make the biggest surprise of this round.
Seguimos em forte ritmo de preparação visando o clássico com o Botafogo! 👊💢
