Flamengo and Botafogo face each other this coming Sunday (18), in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The classic will define who will be the leader of the round, but it is likely that the teams will face absences.
This is because Botafogo's starting line-up is still unknown, but the tendency is for coach Arthur Jorge to make changes to the team . The sector that has the most options for the Portuguese is the attack, and one of these changes could be the return of Tiquinho Soares to the starting lineup.
The striker recently recovered from a knee injury and returned to playing against Palmeiras for the Libertadores. It is also likely that Arthur Jorge will spare some starters, as he will have the Libertadores return game on Wednesday (21).
FLAMENGO MISSINGSUnlike Botafogo, Flamengo will go into the game with four confirmed absences, possibly reaching five or six. This is because Viña and Everton Cebolinha are out of the season due to serious injuries. Furthermore, Pedro and Gabigol only return to the team in September, also because of injury.
GAME WORTH THE LEADERSHIPBotafogo is the current leader of the Brasileirão, with 43 points . However, they could lose it if Flamengo does better in this Sunday's match (18), as Rubro-Negro has 41 points and occupies third place. However, they will have to hope for a stumble from Fortaleza, which has 42.
Thus, Flamengo and Botafogo face off this Sunday night (18), at 6:30 pm, in Engenhão, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The winner will take the lead in the competition.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

This past Tuesday (17), Felipe Motta announced his departure from Flamengo through his social networks, after one season. Now, the athlete will defend Rubro-Negro's rival, Botafogo in NBB 2024/25.
Felipe was revealed as an athlete with great potential. The young man played for the Brazilian National Team's youth teams, went through the NBA Global Academy, the North American league's development program, and played for Fortaleza before arriving at Rubro-Negro last season. He was champion of the Super 8 Cup and was part of the runner-up in the NBB.
However, Felipe only had a few minutes on the court per game and very discreet numbers. The winger played 5 minutes on average per game and had the following statistics: 1.3 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists. The young man had more opportunities in LNb 2024 and did well in the fourth place campaign, but both parties reached an agreement and ended the relationship.
FELIPE MOTTA SAYS GOODBYE TO FLAMENGOOn his social networks, Felipe Motta thanked Mais Querido and sent a message to the Nation: “Thank you Flamengo. It was an honor to be part of and play for the red and black nation.”
It is expected that Felipe will have more minutes at Botafogo and can establish himself among the elite of Brazilian basketball. The new NBB 2024/25 season will start in the second week of October, and Mais Querido will face Vasco in the first round.
