Even in a slump, forward Bruno Henrique remains important for Flamengo coached by Filipe Luís. After all, the player, nicknamed the King of Derbies, will be available against Botafogo, a team among BH 27’s favorite victims.
If Bruno Henrique scores against Botafogo, the forward will reach eight goals against the rival team. That mark would make him equal Hernán Barcos as the worst active nightmare of the team that plays at Engenhão.
Despite the statistic, however, Botafogo is not Bruno Henrique’s biggest victim. That’s because the forward has 13 goals against Athletico-PR and 11 against Vasco in his career. The data is from Transfermarkt.
The King of Derbies should be an option on the bench to make room for Pedro in Flamengo’s attack against Botafogo. The number 9 is the team’s second-top scorer, behind Arrascaeta, who has 19 goals.
Botafogo vs. Flamengo kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (15) at Engenhão. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the derby on YouTube.
The derby of Matchday 28 of the Brazilian Championship will be broadcast on Premiere (pay-per-view). Flamengo are second with 55 points, and Botafogo are fifth with 43 on the table.
