The upcoming match between Botafogo and Mirassol is scheduled for September 17th at 7:30 PM at Nilton Santos Stadium, part of the delayed 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. This game is crucial for Botafogo, which aims to recover from recent eliminations in the Copa do Brasil and a poor performance against São Paulo, with the goal of securing a spot in the Libertadores. Botafogo, currently sixth with 35 points, will be missing key players like Arthur Cabral due to injury, and goalkeeper Neto due to a severe thigh injury that will sideline him until 2026. However, the team welcomes back important players such as Barboza, Alex Telles, Marlon Freitas, and Savarino, who were rested in the previous match. The team is also cautious about players who are suspended or at risk of suspension, including Mateo Ponte, Cuiabano, Newton, and Álvaro Montoro. The probable lineup features Léo Linck in goal, with a defense comprising Vitinho, Kaio, Alexander Barboza, and Alex Telles, and an attacking midfield with Jeffinho, Savarino, Montoro, and Chris Ramos. Mirassol, currently in fourth place with 38 points, is in excellent form, having won three consecutive matches against Fortaleza, Bahia, and Grêmio. The team is expected to field a strong lineup, potentially including returning starters Gabriel, Chico da Costa, and Edson Carioca, who have recovered from injuries. Mirassol's key players and lineup are still under wraps, but the team is optimistic about their chances to climb higher in the standings. The match will be broadcast exclusively on Premiere, with live updates and highlights available through various sports media. Refereeing will be managed by Bruno Pereira Vasconcelos from Bahia, assisted by Alessandro Alvaro Rocha de Matos and Luis Carlos de França Costa. This game is vital for both teams, with Botafogo seeking to improve their standings and Mirassol aiming to maintain their winning streak and position in the top four.
