Botafogo drew with Mirassol this Saturday at Maião. Besides the poor result, the team's performance raised a red flag for the rest of the season.

The next challenge for the alvinegros will be the classic against Vasco. The match will take place this Wednesday at Nilton Santos, for the Brazilian Championship.

Coach Davide Ancelotti projected the return of midfielder Savarino and forward Correa for the match.

“Savarino and Correa have minor issues. I think we can recover both for the next game, which is very important. With the number of games, it's clear that we have difficulties because of the lack of rotation, but it can't be an excuse,” said Ancelotti.

Situation of Botafogo

Botafogo is in sixth place in the Brazilian Championship. The alvinegros could be overtaken by Fluminense, who face Ceará later this round. The club is fighting for a spot in the next Libertadores.
