Corinthians comes from two consecutive victories in the Brasileirão and occupies fifth place in the table, with six points. Additionally, Dorival Júnior's team is motivated by their qualification to the semifinals of the Paulista Championship on penalties against Portuguesa last Sunday.
Cruzeiro, on the other hand, started the Série A on the wrong foot and has yet to win in the competition. In three games so far, there have been two losses and one draw, leaving the Minas Gerais team at the bottom, with only one point. Last weekend, the Raposa defeated Pouse Alegre in the Minas Gerais Championship and eased the pressure on Tite.
The overall history between the teams is slightly positive for Corinthians. The Timão has won 36 of the 91 matches played. Additionally, there have been 33 victories for Cruzeiro and 22 draws.
The recent record is balanced. In the last ten games, there have been three victories for the alvinegro team, four in favor of the Raposa, and three draws.
