Botafogo and Atlético-GO face each other this Saturday, at 21:00 (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos. The match is valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, the third of the return.
Once again without being able to repeat the lineup from one game to the next, coach Luís Castro will have to make changes in relation to the team that drew 1-1 with Ceará last Saturday. Botafogo will not be able to count on Lucas Fernandes (suspended for the third yellow card). For the place of one of the main highlights of the team this season, Castro should promote the entry of Patrick de Paula or Del Piage. Another change should be on the left side, with Marçal or Hugo as starters.
Prioritizing Serie A, Jorginho counts the return of important players, such as Dudu, Marlon Freitas and Wellington Rato. On the other hand, Wanderson and Decks will be spared. In this way, Camutanga and Willian Maranhão join the team. Klaus, Arthur Henrique and Edson Fernando, for different reasons, are embezzlement. Edson Felipe left the club.
