ℹ️ Team News: Botafogo

The Botafogo manager Artur Jorge does not have any fitness worries at all ahead of this game with a completely injury-free group available to choose from.

It’s our opinion that Fogão should opt for a 4-4-2 system this time, handing starts to John, Damian Suarez, Lucas Halter, Bastos, Hugo, Luiz Henrique, Marlon Freitas, Danilo Barbosa, Jefferson Savarino, Carlos Eduardo and Júnior Santos.

📋 Team News: Bahia

Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the Bahia boss Rogério Ceni to be concerned with. Nicolás Acevedo (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that Tricolor de Aço appear most likely to utilise a 4-4-2 system, giving starts to Marcos Felipe, Santiago Arias, Gabriel Xavier, Kanu, Luciano Juba, Everton Ribeiro, Caio Alexandre, Jean Lucas, Cauly, Everaldo and Thaciano.

✨ Prediction

We’re envisaging that Bahia may well find it hard to get anything against this Botafogo side who we reckon should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

That’s why our selection here is for a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for Botafogo when all is said and done.

There should be little in it.
