Copa do Brasil: Athletico-PR receives Botafogo trying to break writing

Athletico-PR receives Botafogo, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (17) at Arena da Baixada, in Curitiba, for the Copa do Brasil, with the challenge of breaking a script. This is the third opportunity in which the two teams meet in a circumstance like this, and in the previous two Alvinegro won. National Radio broadcasts the match live. The first meeting was for the Copa do Brasil itself, in the 1999 edition of the competition. On that occasion, Hurricane was eliminated on penalties at home after each team triumphed in a game by 2-1. Ten years later, the clubs met again, but this time for the Copa Sudamericana. The confrontation ended with a 3-2 victory for Glorioso after a goalless draw at Arena da Baixada. 🌪️ Ready for the round of 16! Last training for the game against Botafogo was this Tuesday afternoon. EU48IWeJ2X — Athletico Paranaense (@AthleticoPR) May 16, 2023 To break this writing, Hurricane has a good recent record in the competition. Champion in 2019, in addition to runner-up in 2021, Athletico-PR has been coming very strongly in the last years of the Copa do Brasil. The team from Paraná qualified for the round of 16 after eliminating CRB in the third phase in the penalty shootout (after a 1-0 defeat at Rei Pelé and a 2-1 victory at Arena da Baixada). For this Wednesday’s match, coach Paulo Turra has as the only absence striker Rômulo, who suffered a muscle injury. The probable starting formation of Athletico-PR is: Bento; Khellven, Pedro Henrique, Thiago Heleno and Fernando; Erick, Fernandinho, Christian and Terans; Pablo and Vitor Roque. Botafogo, on the other hand, arrives confidently at the confrontation. In addition to the good record against Paraná, General Severiano’s team is having a great time. Leader of the Brazilian Championship, despite the defeat to Goiás in the last round, and with a convincing classification in the previous round of the Copa do Brasil, with an aggregate score of 4-0 over Ypiranga de Erechim, coach Luís Castro lives his best moment in the club command. The expectation is that Glorioso enters the field with: Lucas Perri; Di Plácido, Adryelson, Victor Cuesta and Marçal; Tchê Tchê, Marlon Freitas and Eduardo; Junior Santos, Victor Sá and Tiquinho Soares. 😄⚽️ #VamosBOTAFOGO📸 Vítor Silva/ BFR pic.twitter.com/d4EZfRyDlL — Botafogo FR (@Botafogo) May 16, 2023 Broadcast by Rádio Nacional Rádio Nacional broadcasts Athletico-PR and Botafogo with narration by André Marques, comments by Waldir Luiz, reporting by Rodrigo Ricardo and Bruno Mendes on duty.
