Line-ups: Corinthians and São Paulo name their teams for the Majestoso | OneFootball

The lineups for Corinthians and São Paulo have been set for this Thursday’s derby at Neo Química Arena, starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 34th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

Without Rodrigo Garro, who is serving a suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards, coach Dorival Júnior will bet on the youngster Breno Bidon in a more advanced role, playing as an attacking midfielder. Carillo and Martínez, who were suspended in the last round, return to the starting lineup. Memphis Depay, meanwhile, gives way to Gui Negão, since he played for the Netherlands during the last FIFA break and is coming off a tiring trip.

The full Corinthians lineup features Felipe Longo; João Pedro Tchoca, Gustavo Henrique and Agileri; Matheuzinho, Martínez, Carrillo, Bidon and Bidu; Gui Negão and Yuri Alberto.

On São Paulo’s side, coach Hernán Crespo has to deal with many absences. There are 12 in total: Lucas (pain in the right knee), Calleri (transition after surgery on the left knee), Oscar (vasovagal syncope), André Silva (ligament injuries in the right knee), Luan (injury to the right adductor muscle), Ryan Francisco (ligament injury in the left knee), Dinenno (arthroscopy on the right knee), Wendell (partial rupture of the plantar fascia in the left foot), Marcos Antônio (injury to the back of the left thigh), Enzo Díaz (herniorrhaphy to correct inguinal hernia on the left side), Arboleda (injury to the back of the left thigh), and Rodriguinho (respiratory condition).

The full São Paulo lineup features Rafael; Toloi, Alan Franco and Sabino; Cédric Soares, Luiz Gustavo, Pablo Maia, Alisson and Patryck; Ferreira and Luciano.

Both Corinthians and São Paulo are coming off two rounds without a win in the Campeonato Brasileiro and urgently need to get back to scoring points to avoid dropping in the standings. Tricolor is still seeking a spot in the next edition of the Libertadores, while Timão wants to finally put an end, no matter how small, to the risk of relegation.
