Botafogo vs Internacional Lineups
Botafogo
Botafogo have been undoubtedly the best team in the Serie A this season; they are currently at the top of the standings, having a massive 13 points lead over second-placed Flamengo. What's more? Bruno Lage's men won all of their home games in the Serie A this season; they'll look to maintain that perfect record as Internacional come visiting. Tiquinho Soares and Rafael da Silva are still recovering from knee injuries, while Gabriel Pires is sidelined due to a calf injury.
Predicted Lineups: Perri, Plácido, Adryelson, Cuesta, Marçal, Tchê, Freitas, Santos, Eduardo, Víctor, Soares.
Internacional
Internacional's winless streak came to an end with a 2-1 victory over River Plate in the Copa Libertadores a few days ago. They had no wins in seven prior games, with four draws and three losses. Interestingly, the last time Internacional won back-to-back games was two months ago; it'll be interesting to see if they can ruin Botafogo's perfect home record today. Although Gabriel Mercado returns to action after serving a one-game suspension, Carlos De Pena is ruled out due to a red card he received last weekend.
Predicted Lineups: Rochet, Bustos, Vitão, Mercado, Renê, Aránguiz, Johnny, Mauricio, Patrick, Wanderson, Valencia.

Player to Watch: Eduardo
Granted, Tiquinho Soares has been Botafogo's best player so far. He's currently the top-scorer in the Serie A, with at least five more goals than every other player. However, the 32 year old is sidelined due to a knee injury. Interestingly, Eduardo has been a vital part of Bruno Lage's team; he has four goals and three assists in the Serie A this season. In the absence of Tiquinho Soares, Eduardo is the man to keep an eye out for.
