REF’s picks

Back Vila Nova to win – they sit top of the table, are in good form and have the head‑to‑head edge, while Botafogo are struggling near the bottom.

1. 1Vila Nova are 1st with 54 points and have won 3 of their last 5, including a 2‑0 at home vs Londrina
2. 2Botafogo have only 35 points, lost 3 of their last 5 and have scored just 5 in that span
