Team News

Botafogo RJ
Atletico MG
  • Vágner Mancini is unlikely to make too many changes to the side beaten by Santos.
  • Strikers Wallyson and Rogério continue to struggle with injury.
  • Ronny, Yuri Mamute and Bruno Correa should all get starts in attack.
  • Levir Culpi has allowed his first-teamers to start their post-season break early.
  • He will therefore name a reserve side for this match.
  • Centre-back Réver should make his long-awaited return from injury in defence.

Prediction

  • Botafogo have one final chance to salvage a modicum of pride before the season ends.
  • The Rio giants were relegated last week, with on-pitch fighting between players adding to the sense of discord in their squad.
  • The mood is altogether more positive at Atlético, who sealed a Libertadores place by winning the Copa do Brasil.
