Probable Lineup

For the Supercopa final, Dorival Júnior has two absences: defender Cacá, who is still recovering from injury, and midfielder José Martínez, who is in Venezuela to resolve passport issues. 

The Timão coach is expected to field Corinthians at full strength, but with some doubts in defense and midfield. The Alvinegro is likely to take the field with: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, Gabriel Paulista (André Ramalho) and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, André Luiz (André Carrillo), Breno Bidon and Rodrigo Garro; Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto. 

Against Flamengo, Corinthians will be seeking their second Supercopa do Brasil title. In 1991, Timão beat Rubro-Negro in the final 1-0, with a goal from Neto.
