Botafogo x Portuguesa-RJ lineups
How do the two teams arrive for the match? Check the information.
Botafogo lineup
Botafogo starts the year with a reserve team. The main squad has not yet returned, and the club is still looking for a coach.
In the first rounds of the state championship, the club will use athletes from the base or those returning from loan. Names like striker Matheus Nacimento and midfielder Patrick de Paula gain opportunities in the team.
Against Portuguesa, a new addition could be Yarlen, who started well in the debut game and now has a chance of starting.
Botafogo lineup: Raul; Kauê Leonardo, Kawan, Serafim and Lucyo; Newton, Patrick de Paula and Kauê; Yarlen (Carlos Alberto), Matheus Nascimento and Vitinho. Technical: Carlos Leiria.
Portuguesa-RJ lineup
Portuguesa arrives with a different vibe than Botafogo. Eliminated early in the third phase of Series D, they had plenty of time to prepare and have enough energy for the state routine. Some names on the team stand out, such as Romarinho, Lucas Santos and Rafael Silva. Coach Evaristo Piza, however, could leave the club for Retrô-PE.
Portuguesa lineup: Bruno; Lucas Mota, Thomás Kayck, Ian Carlo, Iran and Marcus Vinícius; Wellington Cézar, Romarinho and Anderson Rosa; Joãozinho, Hélio Paraíba (Lohan). Technical: Evaristo Piza.
