Palmeiras plays host to Botafogo at the Allianz Parque for this match in the Brazilian Serie A. The home team are in 2nd position with 16 points while the visitors are in 10th position with 12 points. Palmeiras are in great form coming into this match as they are 15 matches unbeaten across all competitions. They however dropped two points in their last match as they were held to a goalless draw by Atletico-MG and as result they are now two points behind leaders Corinthians. Their home record is just as impressive as they are unbeaten in their last eight matches with six wins and two draws. Palmeiras have also been in excellent form in the Copa Libertadores and are one of the only teams to win all six of their group matches. They will be weary of their opponents in this match as they not won against them in the last two matches with a draw and a loss.

The league is still very tightly contested as teams have only played nine matches and this is evidenced by the fact that Botafogo are eight positions below Palmeiras but a victory in this match will take them to within a point of Palmeiras. The visitors are on a poor run of form and have not won in their last three matches with two losses and a draw. Botafogo have not had a problem scoring goals as they have the third best scoring record in the league but their defence is shipping more than a goal per match. They lost their last away match 1-0 to Coritiba which was their first loss on the road in eight matches.
