By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial Team

On the afternoon of this Wednesday (6), at 3:30 p.m., Corinthians will host Fluminense at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, in a match valid for the 10th round of the first phase of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. Currently, Timãozinho sits in sixth place in the national tournament with 15 points — four wins, three draws, and two losses — with 14 goals scored and 10 conceded.

The top eight teams advance to the quarterfinals. In the national competition, the club from Parque São Jorge, despite its good campaign, is coming off a 4-1 loss to Athletico, after coming from ahead, at Parque São Jorge. Playing at home in the Brasileirão, the Sons of Terrão have only one win in four matches, along with one draw and two defeats. That win came precisely in the championship opener, on February 21, when they beat América-MG 4-0.

Probable lineup and absences for Corinthians

For the match, Corinthians’ coaching staff will be unable to count on center-back Lorenzo, who is suspended, as well as midfielder Guilherme Amorim, who is recovering from a knee injury. Center-back Iago Machado (2009), a starter for the team, will also miss the match, as he has been called up for the game against Santa Fe of Colombia, away from home, in the fourth round of the Libertadores group stage.

Therefore, coach William Batista is expected to field the following team to start the match: Matheus Corrêa; Pellegrin, Levy Dias, Iago Machado and Joãozinho; Caraguá, Bahia, Guilherme Pires and Vitinho Dourado; Nicollas and Luiz Fernando.

In an interview with Corinthians’ official website, left-back/midfielder Guilherme Pires previewed the match: “We trained hard throughout this week, and we are prepared and confident for this match. The fans will see a team playing with grit, determination, and composure as we fight for the three points,” he said.

Officiating

The referee will be Rodrigo Fernandes Júnior, assisted by Henrique Perinelli Oliveira and Flávia Sobrinho Nascimento. Danilo Ricardo Salgado will serve as the fourth official.
