Corinthians host Chapecoense at Neo Química Arena on Sunday at 19:30 in round 26. The bottom club are virtually relegated and arrive on 14 points.
Corinthians have lost three straight in the league, with the G5 slipping away. Chapecoense have taken four points from nine and are 11 points from safety. According to ge.globo, the likely XI is listed below.
From 24 matches, their round 21 trip to Vasco was postponed due to Sudamericana commitments. Their record is two wins, eight draws and 14 defeats, and they drew 0-0 with Corinthians in round seven at Arena Condá.
Since the World Cup pause ended they have played nine times, winning only once, 1-0 at São Paulo at Morumbis, alongside three draws and five defeats. They also reached the Copa Sul-Sudeste final, losing to Avaí on penalties after a 3-0 loss then 3-0 win.
A mid-season rebuild followed, with five arrivals and seven exits, including Walter Clar, who had 23 games, four goals and five assists. Rafael Lacerda took charge in late May after Gilmar Dal Pozzo’s April departure, with Celso Rodrigues and Fábio Matias in between.
Left-back Bruno Pacheco is suspended. Camilo returns from a ban and Bolasie is back from a pancreas injury, likely from the bench. Probable XI, Anderson, Heitor, Kauan Faria, Eduardo Doma, Fernando, Camilo, Yago Felipe, Giovanni Augusto, Marcinho, Túlio Eduardo, Garcez.
