Two struggling Brazilian Serie A clubs will meet for this match and attempt to change their fortune for good.
Botafogo have been in terrible shape at this start of the campaign and they have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions.
That win came on the 15th of last month. They have won none of their next four matches and head into this fixture on a run of three consecutive losses.
Avai is probably in a worst position considering that they have four losses and no wins from their last five league matches before this game.
Both of these clubs just sit above the relegation zone and the losing side in this match could easily find himself in the drop zone after this round of games.
Avai and Botafogo have always played out a close contest and only one of their last five head to heads have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
This means we could be in for another very close game that might end in a draw or a low-scoring win.
