📋 Team News: Botafogo

Kayque (Cruciate Ligament Surgery) and Rafael (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be playing for Botafogo gaffer Luís Castro.

In all likelihood, Fogão should go for a 4-2-3-1 system in the match and select R. Gatito Fernández, Renzo Saravia, Adryelson, Víctor Cuesta, Fernando Marcal, Carlos Eduardo, Tchê Tchê, Joao Victor Sá, Lucas Fernandes, Jeffinho and Tiquinho Soares.

🗞️ Team News: Coritiba

Out of a mainly available squad, there is just the sole fitness issue for the Coritiba boss Guto Ferreira to be concerned about. Neílton (Arthroscopie) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that Coxa seem likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation, starting the game with Gabriel, Natanael, Jhon Chancellor, Luciano Castan, Rafael Santos, Bruno Gomes, Jesús Trindade, Robinho, Alef Manga, Fabrício Daniel and Hernan Perez.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Coritiba might well have a job on their hands to be putting a goal past this Botafogo team who we think will score & stay on top.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for Botafogo when all is said and done.
