Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Internacional in 7th and Botafogo in 9th place.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Botafogo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
