Prediction

Cruzeiro suffered a 3-1 loss to Atletico Mineiro at home in the state championship final at the weekend, before a 3-3 draw with Alianza Petrolera in the Copa Sudamericana in midweek. They'll be hoping for an improvement here. Last season, Cruzeiro finished 14th in the Brasileirao.
Botafogo looked like they were going to romp to a league title last season before a horrendous second half of the year saw them drop to fifth place. They will be hoping for an improvement having suffered back-to-back losses in the Copa Libertadores, the most recent coming against LDU Quito away from home.
