Racing face key trip to Botafogo in the Copa Sudamericana | OneFootball

Racing will look to make a strong statement against Botafogo this evening at 9:30 p.m. in Brazil, in a Group E match of the Copa Sudamericana.

Racing will visit Brazil’s Botafogo this Wednesday in the fourth matchday of Group E of the Copa Sudamericana, seeking a key win that would put them back in the fight for the top spot.

The match, scheduled for 9:30 p.m., will take place at the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium, will have live coverage from Noticias Argentinas, and will be broadcast on ESPN and Disney+ Premium. The referee will be Colombian Wilmar Roldán, while Uruguayan Leodán González will be on VAR duty.

Racing comes into this match in dreadful form, having won just one of their last eight games, while also showing a very poor level in their most recent performances.

This serious sporting crisis has led to uncertainty over the future of head coach Gustavo Costas, who even went so far as to criticize his players’ lack of attitude.

“La Academia” sit third in Group E with just four points, the result of a win over Bolivia’s Independiente Petrolero, a draw with Venezuela’s Caracas, and a last-gasp defeat to Botafogo.

On the domestic front, Racing miraculously qualified for the round of 16 of the playoffs, although after the latest match against Huracán, their fans voiced their frustration with insults aimed at the players and the club’s board, headed by Diego Milito.

Possible lineups for Botafogo vs. Racing

Botafogo: Neto; Alex Telles, Alexander Barboza, Bastos, Vitinho; Edenilson, Cristian Medina, Danilo; Matheus Martins, Arthur Cabral and Júnior Santos. Head coach: Franclim Carvalho
