Teams are tied with 18 points, Clássico Vovô will have a direct relationship with pretensions in the fight for the G6
Classic Sunday at the Brasileirão! With the same 18 points in the competition, Botafogo and Fluminense will face off later, at 16:00 (Brasília time), at the Nilton Santos Stadium, in a game valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship.
In the absence of Luis Castro, Vítor Severino will command the alvinegra teams for the confrontation. In addition to the absence of the Portuguese coach, the team will have four absences due to yellow and red cards. Because of this, the midfield will be completely modified in relation to the victory against Inter. Botafogo also has doubts in the attack as they have some injured players, but the club has not updated their situation since the last round.
Patrick de Paula and Kayque (suspended for the third yellow); Lucas Piazon, Philipe Sampaio and Luís Castro (expelled against Inter); Carlinhos, Gustavo Sauer, Rafael (medical department), are the absences of Botafogo.
After two victories, the trend is for coach Fernando Diniz to repeat the lineup for the third time in a row. Despite having suffered a tough entry from Geovane last Thursday, in a bid that led to the expulsion of the player from Cruzeiro, Nonato is available for the match. Cris Silva is also available, recovered from a problem in his right knee, the left-back has already trained normally at the beginning of the week, but was out against Cruzeiro for a short time. The tendency is for the winger to return to the bench against Botafogo.
