Corinthians v Platense-ARG: where to watch, absentees, line-ups, referee | OneFootball

Corinthians host Platense, from Argentina, on Wednesday night (27), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match valid for the sixth and final round of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores group stage. It is worth remembering that Alvinegro have already secured first place in Group E and currently have 11 points — three wins and two draws — with eight goals scored and two conceded.

Timão can still secure the best overall record in the qualifying stage, which would give them the right to play all matches up to the semifinal at Neo Química Arena. Since 2019, the final has been played as a single match at a neutral venue. The club from Parque São Jorge comes into the game after a 1-0 win over Atlético-MG in Itaquera, in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship, on Sunday night (24).
