📰 Team News: Botafogo
Álvaro Montoro (Broken shoulder), Jordan Barrera (Muscle injury), Nathan Fernandes (Forearm fracture), Matheus Martins (muscular problems), Kaio (Knee problems), Philipe Sampaio (muscular problems), Joaquín Correa (Calf injury), Bastos (Knee injury), Marçal (Calf injury) and Neto (Thigh problems) aren’t available for Botafogo boss Davide Ancelotti.
It looks as if Fogão could go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Léo Linck, Vitinho, David Ricardo, Alexander Barboza, Cuiabano, Danilo, Marlon Freitas, Santiago Rodríguez, Jefferson Savarino, Jeffinho and Chris Ramos.
📋 Team News: Vasco da Gama
Vasco da Gama manager Fernando Diniz has not got a full squad to pick from. Adson (Broken tibia), Benjamín Garré (Inflammation of pubic bone) and Jair (Cruciate ligament injury) can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that Vascão seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Léo Jardim, J. Luis Rodríguez, Carlos Cuesta, Robert Renan, Lucas Piton, Tchê Tchê, Cauan Barros, Rayan Vitor, Philippe Coutinho, Carlos Andres Gomez and Pablo Vegetti.
💡 Prediction
We feel that Vasco da Gama have the firepower to put a goal past this Botafogo side, although it possibly won’t be enough to avoid a loss.
We’re tipping a close game with a 2-1 advantage for Botafogo at the end of the match. It should be a decent one.
