Probable line-ups

Coach Dorival Júnior still has the absence of three of his main players: Yuri Alberto, Carrillo, and José Martínez. Thus, he is likely to maintain the core of the team that started in the victory over Vasco, 3-1, last Sunday. The main change should be the return of Garro to the starting eleven.

Besides the three absences, Corinthians will also be without Raniele, who received his third yellow card in the classic against Palmeiras in the round of 16 and will need to serve a suspension.

On the other hand, Memphis Depay will be available. The Dutchman trained normally with the squad on Tuesday and is confident he can play. Thus, he should at least be on the bench. The coaching staff is cautious about the forward's return as a starter, especially considering the synthetic turf.

On the other side, Athletico-PR also has a busy medical department and will miss Léo, Julimar, Isaac, Kauã Moraes, and Raul. Coach Odair Hellmann may repeat the lineup from the match against CRB, which the team won 1-0.

Probable Corinthians lineup

CORINTHIANS: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, André Ramalho, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Maycon, Charles, Breno Bidon, and Garro; Gui Negão and Kayke (Memphis). Coach: Dorival Júnior

Probable Athletico-PR lineup

Athletico-PR: Santos; Benavídez, Belezi, Arthur Dias, and Léo Derik; Patrick, Felipinho, and Zapelli; Mendoza, Luiz Fernando, and Viveros. Coach: Odair Hellmann
