Botafogo vs Fluminense - Thursday copa sudamerica - neutral match in Rio played at Maracana. While Botafogo are priotizing the Brasileirão, Fluminense is very interested in the Copa Sudamerica. This derby is always tightly contested though Flu have done really well against Bota in the last 18 months, 3-2-0 12/6, and just one loss in 14 games in the last 6 years. They just signed a very good defender, Henrique, and he is listed as eligible to play in the cup. Botafogo are the luckiest team in Brazil right now. They've won 4 consecutive matches and in 3 of those 4 played with an extra man since the 1st half so although their 4-0-0 13/2 run looks phenomenal, you have to dig a little deeper into the results. Those results do give us a great line with Bota favored over Flu which is not accurate IMO. Flu not on a good run, 0-2-4, but they are the most talented team in Rio and a turnaround is in order. Flu without Lenny for sure and probably Petkovic, while Bota have not announced their lineup but most likely a mixture of regulars and reserves since Fla is up next this weekend.
