In search of a spot in the G4 of the Brazilian Championship, Botafogo and Fluminense will face each other, starting at 4 pm (Brasilia time) this Sunday (26), at the Nilton Santos stadium. THE National Radio broadcasts the Grandpa Classic live.
Motivated after two consecutive victories (2-0 over Avaí on Sunday for the Brazilian and 2-1 over Cruzeiro in the fifth for the Copa do Brasil), Tricolor das Laranjeiras (6th place in the Brazilian with 18 points) is looking for three points that allow you to dream of entering the G4 competition.

But, regardless of the result, the match will have a special meaning for one player, striker Luiz Henrique, who plays his last game for the Laranjeiras team before transferring to Betis (Spain).
The expectation is that coach Fernando Diniz repeats the starting lineup against Raposa. The only doubt is in the midfield, where Nonato is doubtful after leaving the field in front of the miners. In case of absence of the steering wheel, the possibility is that Wellington will receive an opportunity. Thus, Tricolor should enter the field with: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Nino, Manoel and Caio Paulista; André, Nonato (Wellington) and Goose; Luiz Henrique, Arias and Cano.
Botafogo also arrives very excited to the classic, as they come from a remarkable 3-2 victory over Internacional, in Porto Alegre, for the Brazilian. Like Fluminense, Alvinegro has 18 points, but occupies the 8th position. However, coach Luís Castro will not have as easy as his tricolor colleague to arm his team.
Glorious in preparation for the classic. WE WILL! ??? #TimeToSetFire
