📋 Botafogo named to retake lead in Copa Sul-Americana group | OneFootball

Botafogo takes the field this Wednesday (6) at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), when they host Racing at Nilton Santos Stadium in the fourth round of the 2026 Conmebol Sudamericana group stage.

Glorioso sits second in Group E with seven points.

Caracas leads with eight points, while the Argentine side has four points. Independiente Petrolero is still pointless at the bottom of the table.

In the Sudamericana, only the group winner advances directly to the round of 16.

Whoever finishes in second place must play a playoff against a team dropping down from the Libertadores.

Compared to the last match (a 2-1 loss to Remo in the Brasileirão), coach Franclim Carvalho opted to bring in Barboza, Junior Santos and Newton in place of Bastos, Montoro and Arthur Cabral, respectively, for Botafogo.
