- Botafogo must do without combative midfielder Airton here.
- He was dismissed in the 2-0 defeat to Coritiba and serves a suspension.
- Carlos Alberto is the man most likely to take his place.
- Vanderlei Luxemburgo is likely to name a reserve side for this game, with one eye on the Copa do Brasil.
- They face Atlético Mineiro in the first leg on Thursday, so a week's rest will help a number of players.
- Amaral, Muralha and Negueba are among those who could earn starts.
