Botafogo returns to the field this Tuesday (27), at 21h30 (Brasília time), when they host Universidad de Chile, at Estádio Nilton Santos, for the sixth and final round of the Conmebol Libertadores 2025 group stage.
The Glorious team is in third place in Group A with nine points, while the Chileans lead with 10 points.
In other words, the match is a real final, as Estudiantes, in second place with nine points, is expected to beat Carabobbo (one point) and secure their spot in the round of 16.
As they had their match postponed over the weekend, for the Brasileirão, Botafogo's last match was against Capital-DF (1-0), for the Copa do Brasil, where they played with a completely reserve team.
In this scenario, coach Renato Paiva kept only left-back Alex Telles among those who started playing in the last match and returned to full strength for the decision.
