Criciúma – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Tigers" have recently had an impressive run. They finished third in last season's Serie B, which was enough to return to the country's top division. They also secured another state championship victory, with a 2-1 away win and a 1-1 draw at home against Brusque in the Catarinense final.
Brasileirão began with a couple of draws, and they thrashed Vasco da Gama 4-0 away. However, this was followed by two "dry" defeats in the Bahia Cup. In the resumed championship, they continued losing but kept scoring consistently. They drew 2-2 with Bahia and recently faced Atlético Goianiense in a tightly packed schedule.
Botafogo – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Lone Star" disappointed sharply in the second half of the last championship, losing their solid lead. The Copa Libertadores group stage started with two losses. Nevertheless, the Brazilians turned things around, gaining ten points in the remaining four matches and advancing to the playoffs.
Despite skeptical forecasts, the club is performing well in the current Serie A. They started with a defeat but then won three times in a row. After a 1-2 loss to Bahia and a 1-1 draw with Fortaleza in May, they secured 1-0 victories over Corinthians, Fluminense, and Grêmio. Midweek saw a challenging encounter with Atlético Paranaense.
