Corinthians come in under pressure for the match. Timão played poorly and were thoroughly outplayed by Santos last Wednesday, losing the derby at Vila Belmiro 3–1. The team’s poor performance sparked criticism from fans and internal indignation within the group, which needs to respond.
With the setback, Dorival Júnior’s team squandered a huge chance to string together a winning streak in the competition. The team also dropped to 13th place in the Série A table, with 33 points. The gap to the relegation zone is five points. To the G6, it’s ten.
Atlético-MG, in turn, have yet to click under coach Jorge Sampaoli. So far, in seven league matches, they have two wins, three draws and two losses.
In the last round, Galo drew 1–1 in the derby with Cruzeiro at Arena MRV. Thus, the Minas side remain threatened by the Z4. With the same points as Corinthians, the team sit 14th.
The overall head-to-head between Corinthians and Atlético-MG is favorable to Timão. According to Ogol, a statistics website, there have been 29 wins for Galo, 23 draws and 36 wins for the São Paulo side over 88 matches played.
The recent record, in turn, is balanced. In the last ten meetings, there were three wins for Corinthians, four for the Minas side and three draws. The last game between the teams, in the first half of the Brazilian Championship, ended goalless at Arena MRV.

Inconsistent under Dorival Júnior, Corinthians have eight wins, nine draws and 11 losses in this edition of the league – a 39% success rate. Timão have scored 30 goals and conceded 35.
The team’s home numbers are poor. They are tied with Santos as the fourth-worst home side in Série A, with 19 points from 13 matches.
Atlético-MG’s campaign is similar: eight wins, nine draws and ten losses (40% success rate), with 26 goals for and 31 against. As visitors, Galo’s record is also terrible. The Minas side have earned just nine points in 14 away matches.
Corinthians will have news against Atlético-MG. The club plans the return of midfielder André Carrillo, sidelined for over two months after surgery on his left ankle. Goalkeeper Hugo Souza and left-back Matheus Bidu are also back available after serving suspensions, as are Romero and Félix Torres, who were with their national teams during the last FIFA window, and José Martínez, who was late to report citing personal issues.
In addition, there is a possibility that the GYM trio (Garro, Yuri Alberto and Memphis Depay) will start and get more minutes together.
On the other hand, center-back Gustavo Henrique received his third yellow card and is suspended. André Ramalho, who could replace him, is in physical transition and is a doubt. The injured Vitinho remains in the medical department.
On the other side, Atlético will have four returns to face Timão: center-backs Junior Alonso and Vitor Hugo, midfielder Alan Franco and attacking midfielder Igor Gomes. The quartet should start the match among the first XI.
Coach Jorge Sampaoli, however, still has five injury absences. Center-back Lyanco, midfielders Alexsander and Patrick, and forwards Tomás Cuello and Júnior Santos are out injured.
Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Cacá, João Pedro Tchoca and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, Maycon (José Martínez), Breno Bidon and Rodrigo Garro; Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.
Éverson; Vitor Hugo, Júnior Alonso and Román; Gustavo Scarpa, Alan Franco, Igor Gomes and Guilherme Arana; Bernard, Rony and Dudu (Hulk).
