Botafogo stunned rivals Flamengo on Sunday with a 1-0 victory thanks to a wonderful strike from Erison. They are currently unbeaten in their last six matches and would love to extend that run here. In midweek, they enjoyed a 3-0 victory over Ceilandia in the Copa do Brasil. Fortaleza are one of three teams yet to win a game so far in the Brasileirão. On Sunday they took on Sao Paulo at home and will be disappointed at only picking up a draw in a game they truly deserved to win. They limited their opponents to only having four efforts in the game compared to their 12. Fortaleza will have to be more clinical here. 1:1
