Glorious must beat Hurricane Nilton Santos to qualify for the next stage of the competition
While going through a good moment, the Alvinegro players will face a decisive duel that could be decisive for the progress of the season. Botafogo takes the field this Wednesday, at 21:30, against Athletico-PR, at the Nilton Santos, for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The club has never won a competition title and has not campaigned well in recent editions. Even trailing in the match, there is no shortage of reasons why Luís Castro’s men are motivated and believe in qualification.
The Copa do Brasil is an old dream of Alvinegra fans. To date, more than 23,000 tickets have already been sold and two sectors are sold out. Glorioso need to beat the Hurricane by two goals away to qualify, considering they were defeated at the Arena di Baixada 3-2.
Botafogo is going through a unique moment of the season. The team leads the Brasileirão with five points clear of second place, has won 13 of the last 15 games played and has not yet lost at Nilton Santos since it reopened.
The Copa do Brasil prize is also extra fuel for the team. A ranking for the quarter-finals will yield 4.3 million reais for the Alvinegro coffers. The game was treated by Alvinegra fans as a “war” on social networks.
