For this match, in which he will try to repeat what he did a week ago at the Presidente Perón stadium, Gustavo Costas is waiting for Vietto, who suffered a discomfort that kept him out against Argentinos Juniors and is in doubt. If he does not respond positively, his place will be taken by Matías Zaracho.
For its part, Botafogo earned a place in the dispute for the Recopa Sudamericana after being champion of the 2024 Libertadores , but was affected by the sales of its figures and is unable to have a notable present due to the low level of football.
The Brazilians have to turn around the result of the first leg with a squad that has not been up to par so far . A narrow victory, a draw or a defeat will leave them empty-handed, so they will have to win by two goals to force penalties, while to be champions they have to talk about a rout, since they will have to beat their rival by three goals.
