It's Copa do Brasil night at Mané Garrincha.
Capital and Botafogo are playing the return match of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil.
Which will kick off at 21h30 (Brasília time).
Match situation 🆚
Glorioso won 4-0 at Nilton Santos.
Which left them in a very comfortable situation.
They can even lose by three goals.
The team from the Federal District needs to achieve the biggest result in their history.
They will only advance in regular time if they win by five goals.
A four-goal victory will take the decision to penalties.
Whoever advances will guarantee R$ 3,638,250 in prize money.
Capital
Felipe Surian took over from Roberto Fernandes, who was the coach in the first leg.
The team from the Federal District comes from a win over Luverdense in the Série D.
A result that gave the team a boost after a poor start.
Matheuzinho, Matheus Anjos, Genilson, and Caleb are injured.
The tendency is that the veteran Wallace Pernambucano will be one of the team's references.
The lineup has not been released yet.
Botafogo
Renato Paiva confirmed what was expected: a very alternative team considering the many absences.
The last to be left out was David Ricardo.
He left the game against Flamengo with pain in his left thigh, but his case is not considered serious.
Artur, Savarino, Matheus Martins, Mastriani, Barboza, and Bastos are still out.
Elias Manoel and Nathan Fernandes get valuable chances.
Danilo Barboza will be a defender.
