How are the teams coming into it?

Botafogo

The crisis is not only affecting Botafogo. Mirassol are also in the relegation zone with the same six points as Botafogo, and the 1-0 defeat to Vitória in Bahia marked their ninth consecutive match without a win.

Rodrigo Bellão, Botafogo’s coach, assures that the club’s current situation, with uncertainty surrounding the SAF, is not affecting the squad.

“I can say, as a club employee, that this does not affect us. We work with our focus on the pitch,” he said.

The coach will be without center-back Alexander Barboza for this match, as he serves a suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards. Nahuel Ferraresi is expected to partner Bastos in central defense. Defensive midfielder Danilo remains unavailable while on duty with the Brazilian national team.

Mirassol

On Mirassol’s side, coach Rafael Guanaes believes the poor run will pass.

“Just as the good run passes, the bad run will pass too. We are working, and I strongly believe in the strength of our group and in our work on the pitch,” he said.

For this clash, Mirassol will be without left-back Reinaldo, who serves a suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards. Veteran Victor Luis will therefore take his place.
