Team News
Botafogo RJ
Sao Paulo
- Carli and Alex Santana are doubts for Saturday.
- Diego Souza will not feature as he cannot face his parent club. Vinícius Tanque and Victor Rangel are in competition to replace him.
- Gilson will return to the starting XI after serving a match ban.
- Rojas is São Paulo’s only injury concern here.
- Reinaldo has been performing well and he’s expected to keep his place at left-back on Saturday.
- Dani Alves could feature on the opposite flank if Cuca decides to keep the same formation that draw against Ceará. However, he will likely push the former Barcelona defender into midfield, while bringing Juanfran in at right-back.
