With stand-in keeper, Botafogo announce line-up for clash with Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo and Botafogo face off starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (15th)

Flamengo visits Botafogo this Wednesday (15th) in search of another victory in the Brasileirão. To try to prevent the red-black triumph, the rival has set its lineup without major surprises. In goal, Léo Linck is chosen to replace Neto, who remains injured.

WHAT IS BOTAFOGO'S LINEUP?

Léo Linck; Mateo Ponte, Barboza, Marçal, and Cuiabano; Allan and Marlon Freitas, Santi Rodríguez, Savarino, Artur; Arthur Cabral.

Besides Neto, who is recovering from a right thigh issue, Botafogo has seven more absences, some of whom are considered undisputed starters. Check out the list: Bastos, Nathan Fernandes, Jordan Barrera, Danilo, Álvaro Montoro, Newton, Kaio Pantaleão, and Vitinho.

However, the team's standout player is confirmed in the starting lineup: Jefferson Savarino. The Venezuelan was not called up in the last FIFA break and is well-rested to face Flamengo. On the other hand, national team matches resulted in two absences: Vitinho, who represented Brazil in Tokyo, and Montoro, who was injured with Argentina's U-20 team.

HOW IS FLAMENGO'S TEAM LINED UP?

While Botafogo struggles with nine absences, Flamengo has three missing players in the same area, the midfield: Allan, Saúl, and De La Cruz. Because of this, coach Filipe Luís has chosen the youngster Evertton Araújo for the upcoming derby.

Thus, Flamengo will take the field with: Agustín Rossi; Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino, and Pedro. The new feature is the return of Erick Pulgar, who starts the match on the bench.
