🗞️ Team News: Corinthians

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

We are thinking that Timão will possibly line up in a 4-4-2 system for the game and select Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Felix Torres, Cacá, Fabrizio Angileri, Igor Coronado, Raniele, Maycon, Breno Bidon, Angel Romero and Yuri Alberto.

🗞️ Team News: Santos

Santos boss Cléber Xavier has to choose a team with limited availability. Guilherme (Hip flexor problems) and João Schmidt (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Peixe seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation using 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.
