Corinthians bounced back after suffering two consecutive defeats and won the derby against São Paulo last Thursday, at Neo Química Arena, by 3-1. The team's goals were scored by Yuri Alberto (twice) and Memphis Depay.
With this result, Timão remains alive in the fight for a spot in the 2026 Libertadores. The team is in tenth place, with 45 points, eight behind the G7. There are four games left until the end of the Brasileirão.
Cruzeiro, meanwhile, is coming off a 3-3 draw with Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi. The Minas Gerais team occupies third place on the table, with 65 points.
Raposa should focus its efforts on the decisive stage of the Copa do Brasil. That's because Leonardo Jardim's team is already guaranteed a spot in the next edition of the Libertadores, but finds itself six points behind leaders Flamengo. Therefore, their chances of winning the Brasileirão title are remote.
Corinthians holds a slight advantage in the history between the teams. According to Ogol, a site specializing in statistics, Timão has won 35 of the 88 matches against Cruzeiro. In addition, Raposa has 31 wins and there have been 22 draws.
The recent record, however, favors the Minas Gerais team. In the last ten meetings, the sky blue team has five wins against only two for Alvinegro, plus three draws.

The match between Corinthians and Cruzeiro this Sunday will serve as a preview for their clash in the Copa do Brasil semifinal. The teams will face off in just over two weeks for a spot in the big national final.
The confrontation will take place on December 10 and 14. Timão opens the tie in Minas Gerais and decides at home, at Neo Química Arena.
Corinthians has 12 wins, nine draws, and 13 losses in the current edition of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Their success rate is 44%. They have scored 38 goals and conceded 39.
Cruzeiro, meanwhile, has 18 wins, 11 draws, and five losses: a 63% success rate. They have scored 49 goals and conceded 25. With this, Raposa boasts the second-best defense in the competition.
Coach Dorival Júnior will have an important reinforcement for Corinthians in the match in BH. Midfielder Rodrigo Garro, who served a suspension in the Majestoso, is available. In addition, striker Memphis Depay is expected to return to the starting lineup.
On the other hand, goalkeeper Hugo Souza and midfielders Maycon and Raniele, who are in the medical department, are doubts. The goalkeeper, who is recovering from a left thigh injury, is practically ruled out.
On the other side, coach Leonardo Jardim will not have midfielder Matheus Henrique, who received his third yellow card. Meanwhile, Arroyo, Christian, Matheus Pereira, and Walace, who were suspended last round, return to reinforce Cruzeiro.
Felipe Longo; João Pedro Tchoca, Gustavo Henrique, and Angileri; Matheuzinho, José Martínez, Breno Bidon (André Carrillo), Rodrigo Garro, and Matheus Bidu; Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.
