Team News

Flamengo
Botafogo RJ
  • Zé Ricardo could name the same XI that started against Atlético Mineiro last week.
  • Éverton is still struggling with a knock and may not feature.
  • Alan Patrick, Emerson and Leandro Damião are likely to be options of the bench.
  • Midfielder Airton is back after injury and should start in midfield.
  • There's less certainty in attack, where Sassá and Rodrigo Pimpão will compete for one place.
  • The latter is available again after a knock.

Prediction

  • Having clawed one point back on Palmeiras last weekend, Flamengo still believe they have half a chance of title glory.
  • It's a long shot, of course, and they have to keep up their side of the bargain by winning games – which they haven't been doing.
  • Botafogo drew a blank against Coritiba last time out, but their defence (five clean sheets in six) could frustrate Fla here.
