Flamengo and Botafogo face off starting at 4 p.m. (Brasília time)

The lineups are set! Flamengo and Botafogo face off this Sunday (30) at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) in the 25th round of the Brasileirão. Coaches Leonardo Jardim and Rodrigo Bellão have named their starting XIs, and Coluna do Fla brings you the details.

WHAT ARE FLAMENGO AND BOTAFOGO’S LINEUPS?

Flamengo: Rossi, Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Pedro.

Substitutes: Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Varela, Danilo, João Victor, Johnny, Evertton Araújo, Paquetá, Carrascal, Cebolinha, Lorran and Josmar.

Botafogo: Gabriel Batista, Vitinho, Ferraresi, Justino, Marçal and Alex Telles; Huguinho, Edenilson and Danilo; Montoro and Arthur Cabral.

Flamengo welcome back Léo Pereira, who was rested in the last match against Cruzeiro. On the other hand, the squad has lost Gonzalo Plata, who was sold to Dynamo Moscow of Russia. Finally, Bruno Henrique is out after picking up his third yellow card.

Other absences for Flamengo are Saúl (flu), Vitão, Alex Sandro and De La Cruz, who are in the physical transition phase. That’s without even mentioning Wallace Yan and Gonzalo Plata, who were released to negotiate with Bragantino and Dynamo Moscow (RUS), respectively.

In crisis and under interim coach Rodrigo Bellão, Botafogo are going all in on the derby to rediscover their joy. The team is coming off an embarrassing Copa Sudamericana elimination, including a six-goal defeat to modest Cienciano (PER).

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO VS BOTAFOGO?

The derby in the 25th round of the Brasileirão will be broadcast by Globo across almost all of Brazil, except São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná and Maranhão, where Corinthians vs Santos will be shown instead. In addition, Premiere (pay-per-view) and GETV (YouTube) will also air the match.

However, Coluna do Fla’s coverage brings the best reporting. Live from the Maracanã, Rock Hudson and Rodrigo Lima will bring all the emotions of the clash, with videos before, during and after the match. In addition, Coluna will show coach Leonardo Jardim’s interviews and the mixed zone with the players.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— Great Flamengo lineup. For a team fighting to be champions, they have the obligation to get the win. Besides that, Botafogo are in crisis and can’t go toe-to-toe with Leonardo Jardim’s starting XI —, began Coluna do Fla journalist Pedro Paulo Catonho.

— Hopefully the game unfolds calmly so Josmar can come on in the second half and make his debut for the senior team. I really like this player’s football, he has star quality. Good luck to Mengão later on! —, he added.
