The final game on this Smart Acca sees 15th place Vitoria go head-to-head with second-place Botafogo.

Vitoria have earned just six points from their last five matches, following 2-1 and 1-0 wins over Criciuma and Fluminense in the midst of 2-1, 1-0 and 3-2 losses to RB Bragantino, Athletico Paranaense and Corinthians.
