Flamengo forward could equal Hernán Barcos as Botafogo’s worst active nightmare


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.

  • Juan Cazares: 13 g, 6 g;
