For the clash, Corinthians will have changes in different areas. In defense, Hugo Souza returns to the team, while Fabrizio Angileri takes the place of Matheus Bidu, who is suspended. In midfield, Raniele and André Carrillo are expected to earn spots among the starters, also due to suspensions. In attack, the final decision comes down to a battle between Jesse Lingard and Vitinho.

In addition to the changes, the coach is still dealing with important absences. Center-back João Pedro Tchoca remains out due to physical issues, while Memphis Depay is still recovering from a muscle injury. Other players, such as Gui Negão and Kaio César, are also still undergoing treatment and will not be available.

Corinthians enter the field under pressure from recent results. The team sits in 14th place in the table, with 10 points, and is trying to end a winless run in the national competition in front of its home crowd.
