Flamengo and Botafogo face off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time)

The Rio de Janeiro derby between Flamengo and Botafogo takes place this Saturday (14th), for the sixth round of the Brasileirão. Trying to recover this season, the team from General Severiano, led by Martín Anselmi, comes onto the field with a new face in goal.

What is Botafogo's lineup?

Starters: Raul; Vitinho, Bastos, Barboza and Alex Telles; Allan, Danilo and Medina; Matheus Martins, Jordan Barrera and Arthur Cabral.

Neto, Botafogo's former starter, has not been included in the squad for the matches. The immediate backup, Léo Linck, made mistakes in the team's elimination from the pre-Libertadores and was seen as a villain by part of the fans. So, Martín Anselmi decided to give the third-choice goalkeeper a chance against Flamengo.
