📋 Team News: Corinthians

Rodrigo Garro (Knee injury), José Martínez (Dental surgery) and Gustavo Henrique (Groin problems) are not available for Corinthians manager Dorival Júnior.

We are thinking that Timão could kick off with a 4-4-2 formation for the game, utilising Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Felix Torres, Cacá, Fabrizio Angileri, Igor Coronado, Raniele, Maycon, Breno Bidon, Angel Romero and Yuri Alberto.

ℹ️ Team News: Santos

Santos boss Cléber Xavier has not got a full squad to pick from. Guilherme (Hip flexor problems) and João Schmidt (Hamstring injury) miss out here.

We’re of the thinking that Peixe seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Gabriel Brazão, Aderlan, Zé Ivaldo, Luan Peres, Gonzalo Escobar, Tomas Rincon, Gabriel Bontempo, Benjamín Rollheiser, Thaciano, Yeferson Soteldo and Tiquinho Soares.

💡 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Santos will have their work cut out to get anything against this Corinthians outfit who we think will likely end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

Our tip is therefore for a very even match with a 1-0 advantage for Corinthians after 90 minutes.

Should be interesting.
