Botafogo v Corinthians U20: where to watch, absentees, line-ups, referee | OneFootball

Corinthians visit Botafogo on Tuesday night (7) at Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), for the fifth round of the first stage of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. Currently, the club from Parque São Jorge sits fourth in the overall table with seven points — two wins, one draw, and one loss — with nine goals scored and five conceded.

In the national competition, Timãozinho is coming off a 1-0 defeat to Fortaleza at Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha, in the fourth round of the U-20 Brasileirão. Even with that slip-up, the start to the tournament for the Children of Terrão has been positive compared to recent years, since in 2024 and 2025 the Corinthians side was fighting near the bottom of the table.

After facing Botafogo away from home in the national competition, Timãozinho will keep its focus on the Brazilian championship in the category.
