Botafogo line-up confirmed for Sul-Americana clash
Botafogo plays this Wednesday (20) against Bolivia’s Independiente Petrolero in a match valid for the fifth round of the Copa Sudamericana group stage.
The game kicks off at 9 p.m. at La Huerta stadium in Asunción, Paraguay.
The venue change was determined by Conmebol due to security concerns and the political crisis in Bolivia.
See the starting lineup below:
Neto; Mateo Ponte, Ferraresi, Alexander Barboza and Alex Telles; Huguinho, Cristian Medina and Álvaro Montoro; Lucas Villalba, Arthur Cabral and Kauan Toledo
Franclim Carvalho has made just one change compared to the team that started against Corinthians.
Kauan Toledo comes in for Kadir.
Group E outlook
Botafogo tops the group, with three wins and one draw in the competition.
With mathematical qualification for the knockout stage already secured (after a 2-1 win over Racing in the last round), the Rio side is now playing to lock up first place in the group and a direct spot in the round of 16, avoiding the playoffs.
Independiente Petrolero is in the opposite situation: they sit bottom of the group, with no points earned and ten goals conceded.
In the previous meeting at Nilton Santos, Botafogo won 3-0.
