Dorival eyes third straight win with full week at Corinthians | OneFootball

After defeating Vitória 1-0 last Saturday at Barradão, Corinthians will have a full week of training before facing Grêmio next Sunday (2) at Neo Química Arena, at 4 PM (Brasília time), for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship.

For the match against Grêmio, Dorival Júnior will have significant absences: Breno Bidon is suspended due to a red card, while José Martínez and Raniele are suspended due to their third yellow card.

On the other hand, Maycon and Matheuzinho return after serving their suspensions and will be available to the coach. With the reassurance of the right-back's return, the coaching staff is expected to use the coming days to adjust the team and test alternatives in the midfield, including André Carrillo, Charles, Ryan, and the young Luiz Gustavo Bahia, aiming for the third consecutive victory in the Brasileirão.

Next Steps

The Timão is expected to return to training this Monday, starting intense preparation for the clash in Itaquera, with a full focus on maintaining the streak of positive results and continuing to climb the standings. The sequence will also include another important commitment: against Red Bull Bragantino, on Wednesday (5), in Bragança Paulista, for the 32nd round.

The triumph in Salvador marked the Timão's second consecutive victory in the competition and elevated the team to ninth place, with 39 points, distancing themselves from the relegation zone and strengthening confidence for the remainder of the season.
