Botafogo has completed preparations for the important duel against Universitario, from Peru, in the Conmebol Libertadores, which will take place this Wednesday, at 7pm, at the Nilton Santos Stadium. The tendency is for striker Jeffinho to leave the starting lineup for Savarino to join. Midfielder Tchê Tchê, recovered from a clinical problem, also has the possibility of joining the starting 11.
Voz do Setorista: Botafogo already had a reinforcement at home for the defense?
The base of the team that beat Juventude 5-1 will be maintained. The difference is in Luiz Henrique’s entry, spared last Sunday. Savarino started the last game in place of number 7 and his good performance, including a goal scored from a free kick, put the Venezuelan ahead of Jeffinho.
Among the midfielders, despite the good appearance of the duo Danilo Barbosa and Marlon Freitas, Tchê Tchê appears as an alternative after being left out of the last game due to a clinical problem, he trained normally, and could appear among the starters.
Probable Botafogo team: Gatito Fernández; Mateo Ponte, Lucas Halter, Bastos and Hugo; Danilo Barbosa (Tchê Tchê), Marlon Freitas, Luiz Henrique and Savarino (Jeffinho); Júnior Santos and Tiquinho Soares.
Bottom of Group D, Botafogo faces Universitário this Wednesday, at 7pm, at Nilton Santos. Alvinegro lost the first two games – to Junior Barranquilla and LDU – and has four more to fight for classification.
