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

Racing will look to make a strong statement against Botafogo, starting at 9:30 p.m. in Brazil, as part of Copa Sudamericana Group E.

Racing will visit Brazil’s Botafogo this Wednesday in the fourth matchday of Copa Sudamericana Group E, 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, with live coverage by Noticias Argentinas Agency, and will be broadcast on ESPN and Disney+ Premium. The referee will be Colombian Wilmar Roldán, while Uruguayan Leodán González will be on VAR.

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

This serious sporting situation has led to uncertainty surrounding 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 against Botafogo.

On the domestic front, Racing miraculously qualified for the playoff round of 16, although after the most recent match against Huracán, their fans voiced their anger with insults aimed at the players and the board led by Diego Milito.

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