Thus, Botafogo should go to the field with: Lucas Perri; Daniel Borges, Adryelson, Cuesta and Hugo; Tchê Tchê, Patrick de Paula and Gabriel Pires (Lucas Fernandes); Junior Santos, Jeffinho and Tiquinho.
Peixe, on the other hand, is looking for a triumph away from home to make up for the stumbling block in the last round (1-1 tie with Avaí).
