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.
Crystal Palace have lined up four friendlies to continue their preparations for their return to competitive action when the Premier League resumes on December 26. The Eagles are scheduled to take on Trabzonspor, Napoli and Real Valladolid.
