Botafogo's quest for a sixth consecutive victory was halted on Wednesday, settling for a 2-2 draw against a determined Sao Paulo at Estadio do Morumbi.

Next, Botafogo face a formidable challenge against an opponent they haven't defeated in their last 12 meetings, registering four losses and eight draws since their last victory in September 2016.

Meanwhile, Cruzeiro bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Juventude in their recent outing, highlighted by goals from William and Juan Dinenno, the latter coming from a penalty in the 87th minute. This win followed a setback against Palmeiras on July 21, ending their three-game winning streak.

Cruzeiro has amassed 32 points from 18 matches, positioning them fifth in the table alongside Sao Paulo, albeit with a game in hand. While boasting an impeccable home record with eight straight wins at Estadio Minerao, their away form tells a different story, managing just one victory in seven matches since June.
