Team News

Atletico MG
Botafogo RJ
  • Gutavo Blanco and Nathan remain injured and will not feature here.
  • Fábio Santos is also ruled out as he picked up his sixth yellow card of the season on Sunday. Leonardo Silva will deputise.
  • Juan Cazares had a wonderful performance against Corinthians and will be full of confidence here.
  • Gilson, Pimpão and Marcinho will miss out through injury. However, none were expected to start.
  • Alex Santana picked up his third yellow card of the season and will serve a match ban on Wednesday. Jean will deputise.
  • Roberto Fernández made a crucial mistake last time out, but António Valentim should keep his confidence with the Paraguayan keeper here.

Prediction

  • Atlético MG guaranteed top-flight competition last weekend with a win over Corinthians and will now focus on a Copa Sudamericana spot next season.
  • Botafogo will be a little more pressured than their opponents as they're still fighting for survival. However, regardless of what happens on Wednesday, they will always end up in a safe position.
  • This should be a very close encounter between two similar sides. A draw is on the cards.
