Botafogo FR desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 6 at 11:30 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Botafogo FR come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Palmeiras, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Botafogo FR a slight edge, but Palmeiras are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
