Corinthians host Minas in 12th-round Liga Nacional de Futsal clash | OneFootball

Corinthians return to the court this Friday for another Liga Nacional de Futsal fixture. Starting at 7:30 p.m., Timão host Minas at Wlamir Marques Gymnasium, in Parque São Jorge, in a match valid for the 12th round of the competition.

The team coached by Fernando Malafaia is looking to bounce back after being beaten 1-0 by Umuarama in the previous round. The result halted the recovery that had begun with a 3-1 win over Tubarão and once again left the club in a delicate position in the standings.

Currently, Corinthians sit 13th in the LNF, with eight points from 11 matches. The team has the same number of points as São José, who are in the relegation playoff spot, and hold only a one-point advantage over Marreco and Santo André, who are in the relegation zone. Minas, this round’s opponent, are just above them in 12th place with nine points.

Probable lineup

The expectation is that Fernando Malafaia will keep the core of the team unchanged for the match. Therefore, Corinthians’ likely starting lineup is: Lucas Oliveira; Lucas Martins, Renatinho, Maicon and Rick.
