Corinthians has not won in seven Brazilian league rounds. This poor run has dropped the team to 16th place. They currently have ten points, just above the relegation zone. The arrival of coach Fernando Diniz has brought some hope.
A recent victory over Platense in the Copa Libertadores boosted morale. However, Corinthians needs to end a two-month winless streak at home. This derby presents a critical opportunity to change that. The team aims to secure three vital points.
Palmeiras enters the match defending its lead in the Brazilian Championship. The team sits atop the table with 25 points. They cannot be overtaken in this specific round. Their goal is to maintain a comfortable cushion at the top.
Palmeiras drew with Junior Barranquilla in Colombia last Wednesday. That match was their Copa Libertadores debut. Coach Abel Ferreira will not be on the bench for this derby. He is suspended by the Superior Tribunal of Sports Justice.
Abel Ferreira’s request for a suspensive effect was denied. He is suspended for eight games by the STJD. The coach will face a new trial next week. His absence is a significant factor for Palmeiras.
Corinthians is still without forward Memphis Depay. He is recovering from a grade 2 muscle injury in his right thigh. Coach Fernando Diniz is expected to keep the base from the Libertadores win. The main lineup doubt is in midfield.
André Carrillo could gain a starting spot over Breno Bidon. The probable lineup includes Hugo Souza in goal. The defense features Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu. Raniele, André, and Rodrigo Garro are also expected to start.
Kayke and Yuri Alberto are the probable forwards. Corinthians has several players unavailable due to injury or suspension. The list includes André Ramalho, João Pedro Tchoca, and Pedro Milans. Charles, Kaio César, and Gui Negão are also out.
André Carrillo, Fabrizio Angileri, and Gustavo Henrique are among players facing suspension risk. Hugo Souza and Matheuzinho are also on disciplinary warning. For Palmeiras, midfielder Jhon Arias is suspended for this derby. Midfielder Sosa, who scored the equalizer in the Libertadores, is expected to play.[]
