Botafogo will be desperate to improve their recent run, which has seen them only win one of their last six matches. Last time out, they suffered a 1-0 loss away from home against title-chasing Corinthians. They currently sit 12th in the league, four points clear of the drop zone. Ceara are winless in their last three matches in all competitions. Their last league outing saw them suffer a 2-1 loss at the hands of South American champions, Palmeiras at home. In midweek, they saw defeat in the Copa Sudamericana, but will feel confident about doing the job in the second leg next week. Ceara will be hoping to build momentum for that clash with a solid performance here. 2:1
