How Botafogo arrives at the match

In the Brazilian Championship, the team also comes from a defeat, 1-0 to Palmeiras, in Rio de Janeiro. But, with 29 points, it defends its permanence in the Libertadores qualifying zone.

Davide Ancelotti, Botafogo's coach, defined the team's goals after the elimination in the Libertadores and, therefore, does not want to give up a victory away from home.

“We have as a goal to finish among the top four in the Brazilian Championship and that's why we are working to win this game,” he said.

The team for this commitment has not yet been defined. But the physical aspect will weigh heavily, especially since there is a classic against Vasco in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil in the middle of the week.

How Juventude arrives at the match

Juventude comes from an important victory against Vasco, who was on a roll after the thrashing against Santos. At Alfredo Jaconi, the home team beat the cariocas 2-0.

Coach Thiago Carpini bets on collective strength. “Our progress in the competition comes from the collective strength and the delivery that the players are managing to make on the field. Only in this way are we managing to stand out,” he said.

Carpini liked the performance against Vasco and with these players available, he should repeat the lineup.

Match history

The last five games between the teams show a balance, but with a slight advantage for Botafogo. There are two victories for Botafogo, one for Juventude, and two draws.
