- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RB Bragantino side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Pedro Henrique suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Botafogo FR winning 100% of all matches.
