Corinthians host Santos seeking a return to winning ways in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians host Santos on Sunday in the Brasileirão, with kick-off at 16:00 at Neo Química Arena. They are chasing a first league win since 9 August, when they beat Red Bull Bragantino 2-0.

Since then they lost 2-1 to Cruzeiro and 2-1 to Coritiba, though they advanced to the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals. Fernando Diniz’s side are 10th on 32 points and could, depending on other results, climb to eighth. According to Meu Timao, a likely XI has been outlined.

Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu, Raniele, Allan, André Carrillo or Jesse Lingard, Rodrigo Garro, Memphis, Kaio César.

Despite the number 10 returning to the starting side, absences persist. André Ramalho is out with labyrinthitis, André Luiz has a grade 2 right thigh injury, and Zakaria Labyad is sidelined with a left knee problem.

In attack, Yuri Alberto has a grade 2 right thigh issue, felt renewed pain and will be kept out. Breno Bidon is suspended after a booking in the last match.

Vitinho is out after left knee meniscus surgery, and Kayke will not return this season after rupturing his left ACL.

CBF appointed Wilton Pereira Sampaio of Goiás as referee, with Rafael da Silva Alves and Leone Carvalho Rocha on the lines and Luiz Augusto Silveira Tisne as fourth official. VAR is Rodrigo D´Alonso Ferreira.

TV Globo will show the match free-to-air across much of Brazil, with Premiere offering pay-per-view.
