Corinthians visit Flamengo aiming to end losing run in Brasileiro | OneFootball

Corinthians return to Campeonato Brasileiro action on Sunday, visiting Flamengo at the Maracanã at 17:30 in the 27th round, seeking to halt a four-match losing run. Recent losses came against Cruzeiro 2-1, Coritiba 2-1, Santos 1-0 and Chapecoense 2-1.

According to Meu Timao, Fernando Diniz is expected to rest most regulars before Wednesday’s meeting with Estudiantes, with a likely XI of Hugo Souza, Pedro Milans, João Pedro Tchoca, Iago Machado, Fabrizio Angileri, Raniele, Charles, Matheus Pereira, Jesse Lingard, Dieguinho and Gui Negão.

André Ramalho remains out with labyrinthitis and André Luiz is sidelined by a grade 2 injury to his right hamstring. Yuri Alberto has suffered a setback in his recovery. Zakaria Labyad and Kayke are out for the season with ACL damage, Allan is unavailable due to a R$ 2 million clause linked to his Flamengo registration, while Vitinho is fit to return.

The slide has dragged Corinthians back towards the lower half. They sit 12th on 32 points, four ahead of Mirassol, the first team outside the relegation zone. Victory could move them up two places above Vitória and São Paulo.

Wilton Pereira Sampaio will referee, assisted by Victor Hugo Imazu dos Santos and Leone Carvalho Rocha. Jefferson Ferreira de Moraes is fourth official and Gilberto Rodrigues Castro Junior is on VAR duty.

The match will be shown on TV Globo free-to-air and on Premiere via pay-per-view. GETV will also stream it free on YouTube.
