Paquetá and Arrascaeta in Flamengo’s likely XI for Botafogo clash | OneFootball

What is Flamengo's probable lineup for the match against Botafogo?

Flamengo has finished preparations for the clash with Botafogo this Sunday (15th), in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca. O Mais Querido is expected to field Lucas Paquetá and Arrascaeta in midfield.

What is Flamengo's probable lineup?

Rossi; Royal, Léo Ortiz (Vitão), Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Evertton Araújo, Arrascaeta (Plata); Paquetá, Carrascal (Samuel Lino) and Pedro.

It is worth noting that Flamengo should have Luiz Araújo back among the squad. The forward has recovered from a muscle injury and has a great chance of being called up by coach Filipe Luís.

Despite this, Varela and Jorginho are expected to be left out of Flamengo's squad list against Botafogo. The players are still not 100% physically fit and O Mais Querido has an important match in the Recopa Sudamericana against Lanús (ARG) on Thursday (19th).

Are the quarterfinals a single-leg match?

Yes! The quarterfinals will be decided in a single-leg match with no advantage. Therefore, in case of a draw, the qualification will be decided by penalties. The match will take place at Engenhão, since Botafogo had a better campaign than Flamengo in the first stage.

What time is the Flamengo vs Botafogo match?

The match between Flamengo and Botafogo is scheduled for Sunday (15th), at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), for the quarterfinals of the Carioca. The match will be broadcast on Rede Globo, on free-to-air TV, and on Premiere, via pay-per-view.
