Tobias Gourlay kicks off the new week in Brazil, where Botafogo should have the better of tonight's Campeonato fixture

Botafogo RJ v Avai
Tuesday 00:00


Kev landed one from two yesterday as Cameroon landed the blow he wanted on Germany, eventually losing 3-1, while Chile fell short of the handicap in drawing 1-1 with Australia.

The Confederations Cup takes a breather today. We'll be back with semi-final previews later this week, but in the meantime we're free to explore the outer reaches of world football once more.

Our shift starts in South America, where there's a single match in the Brazilian Campeonato tonight. Completing the tenth round of fixtures, seventh-placed Botafogo RJ welcome bottom-of-the-table Avai to Rio.

The Great Fire have looked hot at Nilton Santos Stadium since Jair Ventura took charge (W9-D3-L2). This term, they've won 3/4 and have been ahead by half-time in all three of those victories.

Newly promoted Avai have struggled to make the step up to Serie A life. The uncatchily monikered Team of Bravery have not shown much courage in losing 5/5 away games so far. They've been behind at the break in all five and this one should be another carnival for the hosts.
