Botafogo arrives as the leader of the competition, with 51 points so far. A victory in this game could open up a 10-point lead over second-placed Palmeiras, further consolidating their position at the top. The team has maintained a solid performance, but has lost two consecutive matches in the championship.
On the other hand, Corinthians are in a more delicate situation, occupying 14th place in the table and being only three points above the relegation zone. The team has faced difficulties in the last matches, which makes this clash with Botafogo even more crucial to avoid falling in the classification.
Furthermore, Corinthians have an important commitment next week, when they will face Fortaleza at Neo Química Arena for the Copa Sudamericana. This adds additional pressure to get a positive result against Botafogo and gain confidence ahead of the next challenge.
Historically, the clashes between Corinthians and Botafogo have been balanced, with varying results over the years. However, the current circumstances make Botafogo the favorite in this game.
PROBABLE SCALATIONS:
There are some doubts about Timão's lineup, which prioritizes the semifinal of the Copa Sudamericana, on Tuesday. Luxemburgo has already said that the plan is to use the starters, but avoid having most of them play for 90 minutes.
For the match, Lage will have the return of Gabriel Pires, who served a suspension in the last game. However, his return to the team has not yet been confirmed.
