Corinthians finish preparations for Botafogo in Women's Brasileirão | OneFootball

On the morning of this Thursday (26), Corinthians wrapped up its preparations for the fifth round of the first phase of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. On Friday night (27), the team will visit Botafogo at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium. Currently, the Brabas sit fifth in the overall standings of the national tournament with seven points — two wins, one draw, and one loss — with nine goals scored and five conceded.

The Brabas squad began the day with physical work in the gym. Afterwards, head coach Emily Lima led a tactical session, along with set-piece drills. In the afternoon, the Brabas traveled to Rio de Janeiro. In the city, they will remain until after the end of the match and will then be given scheduled rest.

For the match, the Brabas will be without three players: center-backs Thaís Regina (surgery for a fractured fibula in her left ankle) and Agustina Barroso (muscle injury in her left leg), as well as forward Carol Nogueira (substituted in the last match with pain in her right knee). As such, Corinthians is expected to start with: Lelê; Gi Fernandes, Thaís Ferreira, Letícia Teles and Tamires; Duda Sampaio, Ana Vitória and Andressa Alves; Gabi Zanotti, Jaqueline (Vic Albuquerque) and Jhonson.

Corinthians and Botafogo have faced each other only twice in the history of this matchup, both in the Brazilian Championship. The first meeting took place on April 25, 2021, when, at Fazendinha, the Brabas beat the Rio side 3-1. Just over three years later, on May 6, 2024, Alvinegro visited its rival at Nilton Santos Stadium and won 2-0.
