It’s win or win. Zeroed in Group D from the Libertadores-2024O Botafogo receive the University (PER) in this Wednesday (24/4)to the 7pmat the Nilton Santos Stadium, urgently needing victory to continue with a chance of qualifying for the round of 16. The match is valid for the third round.
And the round started well, with a 1-1 draw between Junior Barranquilla and LDU in Colombia, this Tuesday. The Colombian club could take the lead, but was left with five points, while LDU is in third with four, behind second-placed Universitario on goal difference.
Glorioso is motivated by the 5-1 defeat of Juventude in the Brazilian Championship, showing the offensive vein that the new coach Arthur Jorge plans to deploy. On the other side, however, there is an opponent who has not lost in an incredible 27 matches.
For this Wednesday’s match, Artur Jorge should have Tchê Tchê return, having recovered from a clinical problem. Up front, Luiz Henrique should return to the team, with Jeffinho likely to be excluded to maintain Savarino, who did very well against Juventude.
