Coach Martín Anselmi has not revealed whether he will rest players ahead of the debut in the Brazilian Championship. A win will put the alvinegro team very close to securing a spot in the quarterfinals.
The Rio club has been struggling with FIFA's transfer ban. Because of this, Botafogo cannot register its new signings. Thus, the main squad is expected to be used once again.
On the other side, Bangu is having a good campaign in the Carioca. With six points, the team is third in group A, behind Volta Redonda and Fluminense on tiebreaker criteria.
