Corinthians will host Santos at Neo Química Arena, this Sunday (18), starting at 4 pm (Brasília time), in a derby valid for the ninth round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship.

Timão, who has ten points in the table and is in twelfth position, comes from a defeat, away from home, in the last round to Mirassol by 2 x 1.

During the week, Dorival Júnior's team beat Racing from Uruguay 1 x 0, away from home, in a match valid for the South American Cup.

On the other hand, Peixe has only one victory so far in the Brazilian Championship, occupying the penultimate place in the table, with five points.

The classic is of extreme importance for coach Cleber Xavier, who has not yet managed to win in command of Santos.

In four games, he had two draws and one defeat.

Corinthians

The big question in Timão's team for this Sunday was in the attack.

Dutchman Memphis Depay, who was treating a sprain in his right ankle, is out of the game.

As well as Matheuzinho, who, due to edema in his right thigh, won't even be on the bench today.

In the middle, Breno Bidon and Igor Coronado both appear as starters, contrary to what the previews indicated.

Thus, Paraguayan Romero is an option on the bench, as well as Raniele.

And André Ramalho is lined up among the eleven starters.

Lineup: Hugo Souza; André Ramalho, Félix Torres, Cacá, and Fabrizio Angileri; Breno Bidon, André Carrillo, Maycon, and José Martinez; Igor Coronado and Yuri Alberto.

Santos

Peixe still cannot count on Neymar for today, just like in the Paulistão semifinal, when the star was also injured.

Neymar is expected to return next Wednesday, in a game for the Brazil Cup, against CRB.

Besides the star, the lateral Aderlan and midfielder Diego Pituca are last-minute confirmed absences.

The first due to a intestinal infection and the second due to tendinitis in the Achilles tendon of his left leg.

To replace Aderlan, the chosen one was Leo Godoy; while Zé Rafael appears in the midfield with Rincón and Barreal.

Lineup: Gabriel Brazão; Leo Godoy, Zé Ivaldo, Luan Peres, and Escobar; Tomás Rincón, Zé Rafael, and Rollheiser; Barreal, Soteldo, and Tiquinho Soares.
