The match between Botafogo and Bragantino will be broadcast exclusively on Premiere (Pay-per-view).

How is Botafogo coming into the match?

Glorioso defeated Juventude away from home 3-1 last week and, with 32 points, is fighting to stay in the qualification zone for the Copa Libertadores. In midweek, the team drew 1-1 with Vasco at São Januário in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals.

Davide Ancelotti, Botafogo’s coach, knows this duel is strategic for Glorioso.

“We need to get back to winning at home in the league and go into the six-day training period that the calendar will allow us with peace of mind. It will be important,” he said.

Regarding the lineup, the coach did not reveal the team. He is expected to rest full-backs Vitinho and Alex Telles. Both are fatigued and should be replaced, respectively, by Mateo Ponte and Marçal. Center-back Kaio Pantaleão may be rested for David Ricardo, as he is returning from injury. One definite absence is forward Chris Ramos. The Spaniard hit his head against Vasco, was taken to the hospital, and, due to FIFA’s precaution protocol, is not fit to play.

How is Bragantino coming into the match?

On Bragantino’s side, coach Fernando Seabra has instilled in the players the need to learn from what worked in the last game.

“We were going through a bad phase, but we never stopped working. We’ve matured a lot since last year and that’s helping us learn from what went right and what went wrong,” said forward Eduardo Sasha.

For this game, Bragantino lost center-back Pedro Henrique, who is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Gustavo Marques will take his place. On the other hand, midfielder Gabriel, returning in place of Fabinho, and forward Lucas Barbosa are available again after serving suspensions. The forward will compete for the spot with Ignacio Laquintana.

Head-to-head record

Since 2024, the clubs have faced each other several times. Glorioso shows superiority with five wins and a draw in seven games.

This year, the teams have faced each other three times. In the first round, at home, Bragantino won 1-0. In the Copa do Brasil round of 16, Botafogo dominated: 2-0 in Rio de Janeiro and 1-0 in the interior of São Paulo.
