How is Botafogo doing?

Botafogo arrives for the match with three unbeaten games. In addition to the draw against Vasco, the team beat Juventude and Red Bull Bragantino, respectively. For the decision, however, Fogão will not have goalkeeper John, who was traded to English football. Neto will be the substitute. In the attack, the Venezuelan Savarino may give way to Santiago Rodríguez, as he was on the field last Tuesday (9) for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. A similar situation is experienced by the Brazilian Vitinho, who should be replaced by Mateo Ponte on the side.
