Barra-SC v Corinthians: where to watch, absentees, line-ups, referee | OneFootball

Corinthians visit Barra-SC on Tuesday night (21) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match valid for the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil, at Ressacada, in Santa Catarina. The clash will mark the debut of the tournament’s current champions, who are chasing their fifth national title. In 2025, the Corinthians side won the tournament by beating Vasco da Gama at the Maracanã in the final.

Going through an unstable spell in the Brasileirão, the club from Parque São Jorge is looking to get back to winning ways after a goalless draw against Vitória in the league last weekend (18). While their performances in the league have not met expectations, Timão have a 100% record in the Libertadores and are aiming to repeat that in the Copa do Brasil.

Probable Corinthians lineup and absences

Timão’s debut in the 2026 Copa do Brasil will feature an alternate lineup. After Fernando Diniz kept virtually the same team throughout his first matches in charge of the club, the coach will make changes to the starting XI, and according to reporting by Central do Timão, Jesse Lingard is expected to start.

With that, Fernando Diniz is likely to send out the team in the following formation to begin the match: Kauê; Matheuzinho, André Ramalho, Gustavo Henrique and Fabrizio Angileri (Matheus Bidu); Allan (Raniele), Matheus Pereira, Dieguinho (Rodrigo Garro) and Jesse Lingard; Kayke and Pedro Raul.

Despite taking part in the latest training session, Memphis Depay, the team’s main star, remains out due to an injury to the back of his right thigh. Also in attack, Gui Negão remains sidelined with a muscle strain. Defensive midfielder Charles suffered an injury to his right heel and is also still with the medical department. Center-back João Pedro Tchoca is dealing with pubic pain and still has no timetable for his return to the pitch. Left-back Hugo Farias is still recovering from knee surgery in the medical department.

Probable Barra-SC lineup

The opponent is expected to take the field with: Ewerton Ferreira; Fábio Soares, Jean Pierre, Éverton Alemão and Da Rocha; Tetê Bernabé, Henrique Freitas and Warley Armentano; Gabriel Silva, Cléo Silva and Lucas Vargas.

The return leg will take place at Neo Química Arena, on a date yet to be confirmed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Until then, Corinthians will look to build an advantage away from home to move closer to qualification for the next rounds of the Copa do Brasil.

Officiating

The referee will be Rafael Rodrigo Klein (RS), assisted by Maira Mastella Moreira (RS) and Luanderson Lima dos Santos (BA); the fourth official and the VAR will be William Machado Steffen (SC) and Janette Mara Arcanjo (MG), respectively.
