Corinthians and Athletico-PR face off on Wednesday night, 10th, for the second leg of the Brazil Cup quarterfinals. The match takes place at Neo Química Arena, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with Furacão coming from two consecutive victories and three players susceptible to the law of the ex.
Among those listed by the Paraná team, Belezi, Giuliano, and Steven Mendoza have defended Corinthians in the past, with the first being a player formed in the club's youth categories. The most recent is the midfielder, who played for Timão between 2021 and 2023.

Of the trio, only Mendoza has been a regular in the team led by Odair Hellmann, who won the last two games, against Novorizontino and Botafogo-SP. Against Pantera, the starting lineup was Santos; Benavídez, Terán, Aguirre, and Esquível; Felipinho, Patrick, Leozinho, and Mendoza; Zapelli and Viveros.
CAP's focus continues to be on the B Series, but the situation has improved after the two victories. The Paraná team is in eighth place, with 36 points, five behind the fourth place – which gives access to the first division of Brasileirão, and ten below the leader, which is rival Coritiba.
