Dorival keeps same Corinthians XI for Cruzeiro cup return leg, see line-ups | OneFootball

Corinthians is set for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal against Cruzeiro this Sunday. Coach Dorival Júnior has decided to repeat the same lineup from the first match of the tie. The novelty is midfielder Raniele, who has recovered from swelling in his left ankle and will be an option on the bench.

Corinthians Lineup

The Corinthians lineup features: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, André Ramalho, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Martínez, Maycon, Carrillo, and Breno Bidon; Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.

Cruzeiro Lineup

Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim, meanwhile, made three changes to Cruzeiro. The Fox will take the field with: Cássio; William, Fabrício Bruno, Jonathan Jesus, and Kaiki Bruno; Lucas Silva, Matheus Henrique, Christian, and Matheus Pereira; Sinisterra and Kaio Jorge.

Match Situation

Last Wednesday, Corinthians took the lead in the tie by winning the first leg 1-0 at Mineirão. The winning goal was scored by Memphis Depay.

With this result, Timão only needs a draw on Sunday to advance to the Copa do Brasil final. If they lose by one goal, the match will go to penalties. A defeat by two or more goals will see Cruzeiro qualify.

The match kicks off at 6 PM (Brasília time) at the Neo Química Arena.
