Botafogo Team News
In the previous round of the Brazilian top competition, Botafogo played as the away team against Gremio and won with a score of 0-2. In the 25th minute of the match, Tiquinho Soares scored a goal to take the lead, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR decision. The score remained unchanged until the 75th minute when Leonel Di Placido assisted Carlos Eduardo to find the back of the net. They doubled their lead three minutes before the end of regular time with a goal from Carlos Alberto, this time assisted by Marlon Freitas. There were no further changes to the scoreline until the end of the match.
Botafogo has been playing excellently this season and currently holds the first position in the table with 36 points from 14 matches, a ten-point lead over second-placed Flamengo. In the Round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, they won the away leg against Argentine side Patronato with a score of 0-2. In their last seven matches across all competitions, they have achieved an impressive record of six victories and only one draw.
Considering Botafogo’s outstanding form, a similar starting lineup is expected in the upcoming match as in the match against Gremio. This means that Tiquinho Soares will likely start from the first minute, while Janderson may be on the bench. Junior Santos, Carlos Eduardo, and Luis Henrique are also expected to be in the starting lineup, although Carlos Alberto, who has scored three goals in the last three matches, will likely begin the game as a substitute. Marlon Freitas and Tche Tche should form the midfield duo, while the central defensive positions are expected to be filled by Victor Cuesta and Adryelson.

Bragantino Team News
In their last league match, Bragantino played a goalless draw at home against Sao Paulo. Despite being the favorites and statistically the better team with 19 more shots on goal than their opponents, they were unable to score a goal that would have secured them a victory.
Currently, they hold the sixth position in the table with 24 points, the same as fourth-placed Fluminense. In the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana, they finished in first place, and in the Round of 16, they will await the winner of the match between Colo Colo and America MG. In their last five matches across all competitions, they have achieved three wins, one draw, and one loss.
In a 4-3-3 formation, Eduardo Sasha will likely lead Bragantino’s attack in the next match, with the only change being in the defensive line. Natan is expected to replace Eduardo Santos due to his injury. Lucas Evangelista remains a key player in the midfield, alongside Matheus Fernandes and Eric Ramires.
