Flamengo – coach: Tite

Assembling the team only for Saturday’s training, Tite has all the athletes available, with the exception of Cebolinha who is recovering from an injury to his right calf. With this, the coach will use maximum strength in the classic. Bruno Henrique is the immediate replacement for number 11.

Probable team: Rossi, Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Erick Pulgar, De la Cruz and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.

Who’s out: Gabigol (suspended for attempted doping test fraud), Everton Cebolinha (right calf).
Hanging: Fabrício Bruno and Léo Pereira.

Botafogo – coach: Artur Jorge

Botafogo will be without Tiquinho Soares, who suffered an injury to the hamstring of his right thigh. This is the main drawback for the classic. On the field, the doubt remains in the middle, as the Portuguese coach has been rotating the midfielders. The tendency is for him to opt for Danilo Barbosa and Marlon Freitas.

Probable team: John; Damián Suárez, Halter, Bastos and Hugo (Cuiabano); Danilo Barbosa (Gregore), Marlon Freitas, Luiz Henrique and Savarino; Eduardo and Junior Santos.
