Coritiba will play home against Botafogo and this will be their first game of the season in which they have big chances of getting points. In the first round, lost to Internacional, but they weren't expected to get something there as they were involved in the Copa do brasil and they have rested most of their first XI players.

They managed to win in Copa do Brasil and that will be a real boost for them.

Botafogo managed to beat Sao Paolo after being lead twice, 4-2..

But with obson (punishment), Andrezinho (thigh), Antonio Carlos (thigh), Marcelo Mattos (thigh), Jefferson (international duty) Botafogo will be very weak tonight!

Expect Coritiba to win the match!
