Corinthians visit Red Bull Bragantino chasing G5 in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians visit Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday at 18:30 at the Estádio Municipal de Bragança, aiming to close on the G5 in the 22nd round and keep their 2027 Libertadores bid alive.

According to Meu Timao, Fernando Diniz's side travel after a round-of-16 Copa do Brasil exit. They lost 2-0 at Internacional on 2 August, then won 2-1 at Neo Química Arena on Thursday, which still saw them go out.

In the league, Corinthians are unbeaten in five, with three wins and two draws. Their last Brasileirão game was a 0-0 against Athletico-PR on 30 July at the Casa do Povo.

They sit 11th with 29 points, a record of seven wins, eight draws and six defeats. Victory could lift them as high as fifth depending on other results. Bragantino are sixth on 31 and are unbeaten in 10 in all competitions.

With Libertadores last-16 meetings with Rosario Central in the coming weeks and several absences, Diniz may rotate. Probable XI: Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho or Pedro Milans, Gabriel Paulista, André Ramalho or Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu or Angileri, Raniele, Allan, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garro, Kaio César or Dieguinho, Pedro Raul or Jesse Lingard.

Absent are Hugo Farias, Zakaria Labyad, Alex Santana, Yuri Alberto, Kayke and Vitinho with knee or hamstring problems. Memphis Depay has not returned to training and remains in the final stages of contract renewal talks. André Luiz reported right thigh discomfort and may be rested.

The match is live exclusively on Premiere, Globo's pay-per-view service.
