The Brasileirao, one of the most attractive and competitive tournaments in the world according to soccer fans is coming to an end, and although a few matchdays ago Palmeiras was crowned as champions, there are still expectations about who will be the teams that will play in next year’s continental tournaments. Paranaense vs Botafogo is a match that will define the fate of both teams as it will be decisive to seal their qualification for either the Libertadores or the Sudamericana, according to their own destiny and the results in other stadiums.
The runner-up of Copa Libertadores, with 55 points, will be the home team at the Joaquim Américo Guimarães stadium in Curitiba, and a draw will be enough for the locals to qualify for the Libertadores, which this year slipped away in the final against Flamengo. That’s right, if they win, they will be in the top 6 that will qualify directly to the group stage. If they finish seventh or eighth, they will have to play in the playoffs.
Botafogo, with 53 points, is the team that needs to win the most, as it is currently in the last place that gives access to the Libertadores. JefeBet brings you the preview for the match between Atlético Paranaense vs Botafogo, with information of both teams, odds, predictions and much more.

Paranaense Preview
Paranaense is coming into this match after a major disappointment, which was losing the final of the Copa Libertadores against Flamengo by a score of 1-0. But considering the history of both teams, it was a great step forward for Paranaense to have reached this stage. Now with their minds set on the Brasileirao, they need a point to ensure their tickets to the next Libertadores, or at least into the playoffs.
Since the lost final, they have taken 4 points out of 9, beating Goias, losing to Inter and drawing against Goianiense. Despite an irregular performance, the team coached by the legend Luiz Felipe Scolari was enough to be among the best in Brazil’s federal tournament. Its top scorer is the Uruguayan David Terans, with 12 goals.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Bento; Khelven, Nicolás Hernández, Matheus Piauí, Abner Vinicius; Erick, Fernandinho; Vitor Naum, David Terans, Tomás Cuello; Pablo.
Botafogo Preview
Botafogo has given everything on the field this year to qualify for Copa Libertadores, and wants, at least, to qualify for the playoffs. A win, of course, could catapult them into the group stage, depending on the result of the Corinthians vs Atlético Mineiro match.
Botafogo comes into this match after defeating Mineiro and Santos, and will try to extend this positive streak. It is true that the team coached by the Portuguese Luis Castro does not have an exclusive star, although this semester, the incorporation of Tiquinho Soares in the attack gave them the scoring power they lacked as he scored 6 goals in 13 matches.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Lucas Perri; Daniel Borges, Adryelson, Víctor Cuesta, Hugo; Gabriel Pires, Tchê Tchê; Júnior Santos, Lucas Fernandes, Jeffinho; Tiquinho Soares.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be a very balanced match facing two teams that must win and that will leave space for an open game to develop. There will be a draw, but also several goals.
Prediction: 2-2 draw.
