To make matters worse... Luiz Henrique will also be out of Botafogo's game against Vitória because of the general confusion between Botafogo players and security guards with the security team at Arena Independência after the final whistle of the game.
This kind of situation with Botafogo is not good at all
The atmosphere at the club can be troubled and it can do a lot of damage to the club's performance in this final stretch
Just think back to last year when the club lost several games in a row, and as the atmosphere gets worse, it gets harder to win and the level only goes down
In my opinion, the next two games will be decisive for both teams. But I see Palmeiras as having a better chance of becoming champion, because Botafogo doesn't inspire much confidence. They could lose in the next games. The funny thing about Botafogo is that they could even beat Palmeiras, but then lose to other weak opponents. It's a team that lacks concentration in the decisive moments. For example, in the last five games, they had three draws. It was a great opportunity to have gotten 9 points, but they only got 3 points. If they were a normal team with great determination to win the title, they would be close to celebrating the title at this moment, but they are a team that makes jokes. I wonder how Botafogo fans are holding up psychologically.
Palmeiras also have games against strong teams, but the advantage is that they don't have to play in a Libertadores final, so they'll have less pressure and more rest
Don't forget the third option, Fortaleza. Where Palmeiras and Botafogo simply think they have it all won and end up being overtaken in the final stretch. It's not hard to happen, but it's a good bet, since the teams simply don't show any desire.
It would be incredible if Fortaleza were champions
In my opinion, if they win the next 5 matches, there's a great chance to become champions, because Botafogo and Palmeiras will sure some points in their matches
