Vitoria vs Botafogo
📖 The Preview
Both sides are carrying injury problems and neither has much to play for right now, which pretty much sets the tone here. Vitoria are missing a chunk of key players including Anderson, Camutanga, and Edu, while Botafogo are without Allan and facing suspension issues. The head-to-head screams draws too, with five of the last eight finishing level. Both teams are expected to find the net, but nothing more than that. A 1-1 feels written in the stars for this one.
