Part 5/7:
Internally, the club is making efforts to ensure that key players, including Maurício and another key player, Piquerez, are healthy and ready for this pivotal encounter. The date coincides with the final of the Copa Libertadores, which might affect scheduling if Botafogo progresses in that tournament. The expectation is that if the match needs to be rescheduled due to a conflict, it could be set for earlier in that week.
