Predicted lineups

Probable Grêmio lineup

Coach Mano Menezes has called for his charges to avoid the fatigue seen against Internacional, when Tricolor fell behind twice and had to chase a comeback.

“We managed on Sunday because we played a lot. But that won't always be possible. I'm talking about getting out of a situation like that. We need to always be alert,” said the Tricolor coach.

Grêmio's absences start with the coaching staff. Mano Menezes and his direct assistant Sidnei Lobo are suspended. Thus, Thiago Kosloski, the second assistant, asked for leave from the Brazilian U-20 team to lead the team from the sidelines. He was scolded by Mano against Mirassol for passing a wrong substitution to the fourth official.

On the field, midfielder Arthur, suspended for being sent off in the Gre-Nal, and striker Carlos Vinícius, injured, are out. The good news is the return of defender Kannemann, who is back from suspension.

Grêmio: Tiago Volpi, Marcos Rocha, Erick  Noriega, Walter Kannemann and Marlon; Gustavo Cuéllar, Edenílson, Dodi and Willian; Cristian Pavón and Alysson

Coach: Mano Menezes.

Probable Botafogo lineup

Davide Ancelotti, Botafogo's coach, hopes his team can maintain the momentum seen in the game against Atlético-MG.

“We needed that victory and it came because we managed to execute everything we agreed on in the second half. Let's keep it up against Grêmio,” he said.

Botafogo has many absences for this duel. Left-back Marçal and midfielders Santiago Rodríguez and Álvaro Montoro received suspensions for being cautioned against Galo. Another suspended player is Spanish striker Chris Ramos, who was sent off in the same game. Cuiabano should step in at full-back, while there are many options in attack, such as Jeffinho, Matheus Martins, Joaquín Correa and Mastriani, as well as Arthur Cabral, who is trying to return from injury, but the lineup will only be announced minutes before kick-off.

Botafogo: Léo Linck, Vitinho, Alexander Barboza, Kaio Pantaleão and Cuiabano; Newton, Marlon Freitas and Jefferson Savarino; Jeffinho, Joaquín Correa and Matheus Martins

Coach: Davide Ancelotti.
