Corinthians v Cruzeiro: Copa do Brasil live stream, stats, line-ups | OneFootball

The Copa do Brasil is coming to an end. This Sunday, Corinthians and Cruzeiro face off in the second leg of the semifinal at 6 PM (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena in São Paulo (SP).

Where to watch Corinthians vs. Cruzeiro live?

How is Corinthians approaching the match?

Corinthians comes into the second game with high confidence after a great performance and a 1-0 victory at Mineirão in the first leg. Memphis Depay shone again and scored the only goal for Timão in the match.

With the minimal advantage in the aggregate score, Corinthians only needs a draw in Itaquera to advance to the Copa do Brasil final. For this, they will surely count on the support of the Fiel Torcida, who put on a show at Mineirão.

How is Cruzeiro approaching the match?

On the other hand, Cruzeiro is trailing and needs a comeback to reach the Copa do Brasil final. The Raposa needs a win by two or more goals to advance to the final in regular time.

In case of a simple victory for Cruzeiro and a consequent tie in the aggregate score, the finalist will be decided by penalties. Corinthians or Cruzeiro await the winner of the Rio de Janeiro derby between Vasco and Fluminense.

Match History

The match history is balanced, but Corinthians has a slight advantage. According to data from the Ogol platform, specialized in statistics, there have been 90 games between the teams, with 36 wins for Timão against 32 victories for Cruzeiro, plus 22 draws.

The recent record also shows balance in the clash. In the last ten games, there were four wins for Cruzeiro, three victories for Corinthians, and three draws. Timão scored seven goals and conceded 12.

In the last encounter between the teams, Corinthians came out on top. At Mineirão, Timão imposed their rhythm and took advantage of the poor performance to gain an advantage in the Copa do Brasil semifinal. It remains to be seen what the result of the second leg will be.

Statistics

Corinthians relies on defensive solidity and the cup spirit of Dorival Júnior to advance to the final. Timão has not conceded any goals in the competition — a record, while the coach has not been eliminated in the national tournament since 2016.

Cruzeiro, on the other hand, trusts in their away performance. This season, the Raposa has achieved 10 wins, 12 draws, and eight losses in 30 away games. They scored 36 goals and conceded 27. Recently, the team drew with Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Mirassol away from home.

Corinthians, on the other hand, will have the strength of the Neo Química Arena in their favor. This season, they have 21 wins, nine draws, and only six losses in 36 games played in Itaquera. The alvinegra team scored 55 goals and conceded 30.

Probable line-ups

Corinthians has two doubts for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal. Coach Dorival Júnior is unsure if he can count on Raniele, who missed the first leg due to an ankle edema. Additionally, Yuri Alberto left the field with pubic pain on Wednesday and is also uncertain.

Another doubt for the starting lineup is Rodrigo Garro. Recently recovered from a muscle injury, the Argentine started the first leg on the bench and is not guaranteed in the starting 11.

On the other side, coach Leonardo Jardim has two significant absences for the match. Midfielder Lucas Romero received a yellow card in the first leg and will serve a suspension. Meanwhile, defender Villalba suffered a ligament injury in his left ankle and will also be absent.

Other confirmed absences for Cruzeiro are forward Marquinhos (injured) and right-backs Fagner (contractual issues) and Kauã Moraes (already played for another team in this Copa do Brasil).

In contrast, Cruzeiro will have the reinforcement of forward Wanderson, who returns after serving a suspension.
