Botafogo RJ vs Palmeiras

Home - Botafogo RJ
Last away matches - L-D-L-L-W-L

Last week Botafogo’s president Mauricio Assumpcao decided to resign the contracts of four of his players – center back Bolivar, right back Edilson, left back Julio Cesar and striker Emerson –, which made the crisis within the club even bigger. Botafogo have suffered four defeats in September and after two undefeated matches are back on losing paths. They lost to Vitoria and Gremio in the last two rounds. Their four points earned against Goias and Criciuma are the only one in the last eight rounds. Botafogo are currently in the relegation zone with same points as the last placed Coritiba.

Away - Palmeiras
Last away matches - L-L-L-D-L-L

Palmeiras haven’t been living the most calm of their moments either, but at least they have some good news, as the return of defender Nathan and the possibility of counting with their main player Valdivia again. Palmeiras moved up from the relegation zone mostly thanks to good home results. They won the last two home matches, while lost both away. Palmeiras sit on the 15th position, only one point over the relegation zone, so they still need points to reach the safety. They have an awful away record and only two points in the last 10 away matches.
