🗞️ Team News: Red Bull Bragantino

It seems likely that Leão da Zona could use the 4-2-3-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Cleiton, Jose Andres Hurtado, Gustavo Marques, Alix, Juninho Capixaba, Gustavo Neves, Gabriel, Lucas Barbosa, Rodriguinho, Henry Mosquera and Eduardo Sasha.

📋 Team News: Botafogo

Botafogo boss Martín Anselmi has multiple availability issues to deal with. Chris Ramos (Lumbar vertebra problems) and Kaio (Knee problems) won’t be making appearances. Cristian Medina will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are inclined to think that Fogão might play in a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Raul Steffens, Vitinho, Nahuel Ferraresi, Alexander Barboza, Alex Telles, Danilo, Allan, Matheus Martins, Alvaro Montoro, Santiago Rodríguez and Júnior Santos.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Botafogo are certainly able to score against this Red Bull Bragantino side, although it is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re expecting both teams to score in a 2-1 winning score for Red Bull Bragantino at the end of the 90 minutes. Looking forward to this.
