We are thinking that Fogão could use the 4-4-2 system for the game, handing starts to Léo Linck, Vitinho, Gabriel Justino, Fernando Marcal, Alex Telles, Lucas Villalba, Cristian Medina, Huguinho, Matheus Martins, Kauan Toledo and Lucas Emanuel.
We reckon that Leão da Barra seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Lucas Arcanjo, Jamerson, Cacá, Luan Cândido, Ramon, Gabriel Baralhas, Emmanuel Martinez, Erick, Tomas Pochettino, Diego Tarzia and Renê.
Our assessment is that Vitoria will surely be able to put a goal past this Botafogo side, however it might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Botafogo after the 90. Looking forward to this.
