For the clash, Corinthians will have confirmed absences. Right-back Matheuzinho and midfielder André are suspended after being sent off in the match against Palmeiras.

Among the options for the match, right-back Pedro Milans highlighted the team’s preparation and looked ahead to the team’s run in the national competition after positive results in the Copa Libertadores.

“We’ve worked to earn the three points. The team is doing well and comes into these last few games with a lot of confidence. Without a doubt, attitude will not be lacking, and neither will football. We’re progressing and finding what the coach is asking for. I believe it will be a great match. I’m very happy and have been working very well. I’m preparing myself so the coach considers me and gives me opportunities, and I have to make the most of them,” shared the Uruguayan.

In the Brazilian Championship standings, Corinthians sit in 16th place with 11 points. Vitória are in 10th, with 14 points.

The recent record at Barradão favors Timão. In the last two times they played at the stadium, the team came away with victories, including a 2-1 win in 2024 and another 1-0 victory last season.
