First-team regulars return, Botafogo to shake up vs São Paulo | OneFootball

Coach Davide Ancelotti is expected to make changes to the team that started the last match for Botafogo for the clash against São Paulo. Last Thursday, the Glorioso was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Vasco, with some of its starters beginning the match on the bench. Now recovered, these players have a chance to return to the starting eleven.

Returns

Right-back Vitinho and midfielder Savarino, who were on the bench due to physical fatigue from traveling for the Qualifiers, return to the team.

In addition to them, Danilo and Montoro also have a chance to start the match. Both have recovered from physical issues and took part in the last training session.

Probable lineup

Thus, Botafogo should go into the match at Morumbis with the following formation: Neto; Vitinho, Kaio Pantaleão, Alexander Barboza, and Alex Telles; Danilo (Newton), Marlon Freitas, and Savarino; Santi Rodríguez, Montoro, and Arthur Cabral.

Standings

Botafogo is in fifth place in Série A, with 35 points. The alvinegros need a win to get closer to the fight for the top spots in the Brazilian Championship.

The match against São Paulo, for the Brazilian Championship, is scheduled for this Sunday. The team from Rio is looking to bounce back after being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Vasco, in a penalty shootout following an aggregate draw.
