Predicted Lineups
Botafogo RJ (4-2-3-1): Rogério – Want, Kanu, Gum, Victor Luís – André, Auro – Niguel, Tuca Correa, Luiz Fernando – Erison
Seattle Sounders (4-3-2-1): Frei – Fisher, Svensson, Nouhou, McCrary – Vargas, Roldán, Rusnák – Lodeiro, de la Vega – Ferreira
With several defenders out, Seattle could opt for a deeper defensive setup with three midfielders screening the backline.
Match Preview
Botafogo RJ enters the match, boasting a hungry, experienced squad that has already shown resilience in high-pressure continental fixtures. While their domestic 2025 form has been mixed, their roster is fit and battle-hardened.
Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, are navigating a rough stretch. They’ve won just one of their last five matches and are dealing with key injuries in defense and attack. However, home-field advantage and crowd support at Lumen Field could play a major role.
Expect Botafogo to dominate possession and stretch Seattle wide using their pace on the flanks, while the Sounders will likely look to stay compact and strike on the counter.
