Botafogo and Atlético-MG will meet at Estádio Nilton Santos on Wednesday, November 4, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) for Matchday 34 of the 2026 Brasileirão.

On the other hand, Atlético-MG stands seventh with 50 points, looking for their first victory in three outings to surpass sixth-placed Bahia, who holds 53 points.

In response to Botafogo’s last match, which ended in a 2–1 loss to Remo, coach Tite has made several changes. He brings in Justino, Paulinho, Edenilson, Danilo Pereira, and Tiquinho, replacing Alex Telles, Andrade, Ziyech, Matheus Martins, and Arthur Cabral.

Given Atlético’s involvement in the Copa do Brasil semifinals, where they trail Grêmio 2–0 after the first leg, coach Eduardo Domínguez will be fielding a completely second-string side for this match.
