Internacional, on the other hand, will look to tighten up at the back after a disappointing 1-2 loss to Mirassol. They’ll aim to frustrate Botafogo with a compact midfield and quick counter-attacks. However, given Botafogo’s current momentum, Internacional might struggle to keep them at bay.Internacional, on the other hand, will look to tighten up at the back after a disappointing 1-2 loss to Mirassol.
