Corinthians travel to Coritiba on Sunday night, kick-off 19:30 at Couto Pereira, for round 24 of the Brasileirão, aiming to close in on the G5 and a 2027 Libertadores berth.

Coritiba have won one of their last six, with three defeats and two draws.

The teams sit ninth and tenth respectively, Corinthians on 32 points and Coritiba on 31. Victory could lift Timão to sixth, depending on other results, and move them within four of Cruzeiro, who hold the final G5 spot on 39.

Rodrigo Garro is suspended. Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho and Matheus Bidu remained in São Paulo for undisclosed reasons. Medical absentees include André Ramalho, André Luiz and Zakaria Labyad, while forwards Yuri Alberto, Vitinho and Kayke also miss out.

The match will be shown exclusively on the Premiere pay-per-view service.
