Brasileiro Serie A - Botafogo v Cruzeiro MG
For the game tonight the Engenhão be virtually full, with 40 thousand fans pulling for the team, in search of victory.
This is a game of extreme importance for Botafogo, since the Cruzeiro is in the second place with 5 points advantage of the Rio's team. It is the famous games, 6 points, since in case of victory, Botafogo decreases the distance for only 2 points, but in case of defeat sees the difference enlarged to 8.
The Botafogo 3 games will be followed in Rio, and coach Ney Franco and put the bar high, setting the goal for the next rounds:
-- These next three games will be in Rio, we want 100% of recovery. If we do this, we will be consolidated into Top4 and. (Source: Lancenet)
Already the Cruzeiro outside the home has not been the same as when play Mineirăo. In 9 games away has only 3 wins, and lost by 4 times. So we anticipate a very difficult game for the coach Adilson Baptista.
Besides the good time that the lives Botafogo, Cruzeiro will also have to fight the absences of key players for the game today. The two defensive midfielders have been suspended (Fábricio and Espinoza), while the attacker Romulo is still with the Brazilian delegation of the Olympics. Charles who was expelled in the last game, which will also be absent.
But not only. The influential articulator of game that Wagner was in doubt with pain in the right thigh was vetoed and not play.
With this, the coach Adilson Baptista will have many problems to solve, against an opponent who lives her best time in competition.
With the odd victory for the Botafogo relatively low, I believe that with so many problems Cruzeiro will suffer with the lack of dialogue, and create few goal chances. Without Romulo and Wagner, the industry will be even weaker offensive, delivered only to the time artilheiro Guilherme.
To complete the Botafogo has been very well in defence, and coach Ney Franco knows very well the team of Cruzeiro, which was already a good time coaching in the Ipatinga (which dispute the State Championship with Cruzeiro).
