REF’s picks

Operário-PR return to their home ground where their solid league position makes them favourites against a struggling Botafogo-SP side. Despite a heavy recent defeat, the hosts boast enough quality to bounce back against opponents lingering near the relegation zone. However, Botafogo-SP have proven tricky in recent head-to-head meetings, meaning this could easily turn into a tight affair if the visitors frustrate early.

1. 1Operário-PR sit comfortably in the upper half of the table with strong home backing at Estádio Germano Krüger.
2. 2Botafogo-SP struggle for consistency on the road and sit dangerously close to the relegation places.
3. 3Recent head-to-head history shows Botafogo-SP capable of springing a surprise, having won the reverse fixture earlier this season.
