Illustrating their partiality to productive matches, we’ve had goals 21 times in the previous six games in which Botafogo have sent out their troops, making it a mean average of 3.5 goals each fixture.

The Flamengo manager Adenor Tite does not have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash thanks to a completely healthy group to pick from.

It seems likely that Fla will possibly use the 4-2-3-1 system in the match with Agustin Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton, Erick Pulgar, Allan, Luiz Araujo, G. de Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.

🗞️ Team News: Botafogo

With a completely injury-free squad to pick from, the Botafogo boss Artur Jorge doesn’t have any fitness concerns to report before this game.

We believe Fogão will likely begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, giving starts to R. Gatito Fernández, Mateo Ponte, Lucas Halter, Bastos, Hugo, Jefferson Savarino, Danilo Barbosa, Marlon Freitas, Jeffinho, Júnior Santos and Tiquinho Soares.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Flamengo will most probably fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they line up against Botafogo, who might well find it a difficult task to score.

We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 2-0 win for Flamengo at the end of the match.
