Crystal Palace will welcome Botafogo to Selhurst Park for a club friendly on Saturday (December 3).
The hosts have not been in action since a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League before the FIFA World Cup break. Morgan Gibbs-White scored a 54th-minute goal to guide the Tricky Trees to victory in a game that saw Wifried Zaha miss a first-half penalty.
Meanwhile, Botafago's last game saw them suffer a 3-0 defeat at Athletico-PR in their final game of the Brazilian Serie A season. All three goals came after the break, with Adryelson's own goal opening the scoring, while Vitor Roque and Erick also found the back of the net.
