Probable line-ups

On the Corinthians side, coach Dorival Júnior has two confirmed absences for the match. Midfielder José Martínez is suspended after being sent off against Cruzeiro, while forward Memphis Depay is recovering from a bone edema in his left knee.

The coaching staff also has three doubts: Hugo Souza and Maycon. Both are in the physical transition process and are uncertain for the match, but may be available if they are fit. Matheus Bidu is in a similar situation, having missed the Cruzeiro match due to right knee pain.

Botafogo, on the other hand, has a new absence: midfielder Danilo, who suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh. The team will also be without right-back Vitinho, who received his third yellow card in the win over Grêmio and is suspended.

Bastos, Neto, Nathan Fernandes, Kaio Pantaleão, and Matheus Martins are still in the Botafogo medical department, while Santi Rodríguez, with muscle pain, is a doubt.
