Corinthians 🦅

Timão started the round with 18 points, right behind Santos, the team that opens the relegation zone.

The goal is to collect six points before the Brasileirão break for the World Cup.

Fernando Diniz will be able to count on Gabriel Paulista, who was absent in the last round.

And he will once again use his starters from the beginning after resting them in the Sudamericana.

There was an expectation that Memphis would be on the bench.

And that was confirmed. 

Atlético 🐓

Galo has 21 points and is trying — besides pulling away from the relegation zone — to move closer to the top five.

They are also looking to improve their away form. So far, they have two wins and six defeats.

Eduardo Domínguez has not lost any players. 

Back from injury, Victor Hugo is once again an option. And he starts among the XI.
