Possible lineups
Flamengo – Coach: Jorge Sampaoli
Flamengo has doubts about the defense and regarding the scheme. It is worth noting that Sampaoli used three different systems in his first matches. This time, the Argentine coach will use the scheme with three defenders and without Ayrton Lucas. Thus, Cebolinha will do the job on the left.
Possible team: Santos. Wesley and Fabricio Bruno, David Luiz and Leo Pereira; Vidal (Everton Ribeiro), Thiago Maia, Gerson and Everton Cipolineha; Gabigol and Peter.
Those abroad: Arrascaeta (recovery from left adductor injury), Varela (recovery from hip surgery), Matheuzinho (recovery from leg surgery), Filipe Luís (recovery from left calf pain).
Botafogo – Coach: Luis Castro
The coach has doubts in midfield and attack – Tchê Tchê or Lucas Fernandes in one sector and Victor Sá or Luís Henrique in the other – which relate to a more cautious or attacking strategy to counter the opposition. Marsal, who is out in four games with a groin injury, has a chance to return.
Possible lineup: Lucas Pere de Placido, Adrilsson, Cuesta, Rafael (Marcel); Danilo Barbosa, Chi Chi (Lucas Fernandez), Eduardo; Junior Santos, Tequinho Soares, Victor Sa (Luis Henrique).
who is out: Patrick Di Paula (knee injury) and Kaeque (transfer).
