Team News

Botafogo RJ
Chapecoense AF
  • Diogo Barbosa has recovered from injury and looks set to start in midfield here.
  • That would mean a shift to a more attacking formation than Botafogo have been using.
  • Either Rodrigo Lindoso or Bruno Silva will drop to the bench.
  • Caio Júnior looks set to make five changes to his side for this game.
  • Gil and Gimenez have muscle injuries, while Hyoran and Ananias have also remained in Chapecó.
  • There should be starts for Matheus Biteco, Sérgio Manoel, Lucas Gomes and Kempes.

Prediction

  • Two goalless draws on the spin have slowed Botafogo's progress a touch, but they still look good bets to seal a top six spot.
  • And the Rio side will hope to profit from convenient circumstances when they welcome Chapecoense to Rio on Wednesday.
  • The visitors' thoughts are turning to Copa Sul-Americana duties, so Caio Júnior is making sure all his key players are at peak fitness.
