Today is game day! After losing the first game by 3-2, at Arena da Baixada, Botafogo receives the Athletico-PR this Wednesday (31), at 21:30, at Estádio Nilton Santos, seeking to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Brazil’s Cup and a prize of R$4.3 million.
To advance from the stage, Botafogo needs a victory by two or more goals difference. If Alvinegro wins by a goal difference, the decision will go to penalties. Athletico-PR has the advantage of qualifying with a simple draw. It is worth remembering that the goal away from home is no longer valid as a tiebreaker.
Botafogo’s main reinforcement for this match will come from the stands. Undefeated with the new synthetic lawn, Glorioso will have the support of more than 35,000 alvinegros at Nilton Santos – until the end of Tuesday, there were only a few tickets left for the Lower West sector.
Coming from three consecutive victories and isolated leader of the Brasileirão, Luís Castro’s Fogão will again have Tiquinho Soares, who fulfilled his suspension against América-MG, and Carlos Alberto, who cannot play on Sunday due to contract. On the other hand, Gabriel Pires, Danilo Barbosa, Matías Segovia and Rafael are still out.
Botafogo embezzlement
Patrick dePaula (ligamentous injuries to left knee), Daniel Barbosa (muscle injury in the right thigh), matias segovia (fracture in the hand), Rafael e gabriel pires are the absences for physical reasons. Matheus Nascimento he is also out, loaned to the Brazilian Under-20 team.
Hanging from Botafogo
Just the quarterback victor cuesta is hanging with two yellow cards at Botafogo. If he receives a card this Wednesday, he will be missing the first game of the quarterfinals – if, of course, Fogão advances.
Opponent – Athletico PR
Athletico-PR will not be able to count on Fernandinhowho suffered a thigh injury, and with striker Pablodue to a blow to the thigh. Alex Santana enters the middle, and there is a doubt about who will enter the second wave: Terans or midfielder Hugo Moura.
