Timão, fueled by two consecutive victories this season, faces Leão do Pici, who has not yet lost in the Brazilian championship
Corinthians will face Fortaleza this Saturday (4), at 9pm, at the Neo Química Arena, in the fifth round of the Brazilian championship. Timão arrives motivated after winning the first time in the competition against Fluminense and also beating América-RN, in the Copa do Brasil. Leão do Pici still doesn’t know what defeat in the points tournament means. So far there are one win and two draws and the team goes to San Paolo with the desire to maintain this unbeaten record.
Where to look
The match between Corinthians and Fortaleza will be broadcast on Premiere.
How the Corinthians arrive
At Timão there is anticipation for Yuri Alberto’s return. Moreover, the center forward is recovering from his right leg injury, but he still doesn’t know if he will be fit to play. Therefore, if he is excluded, Romero or Pedro Raul will have to start the match. Furthermore, the team should have two returns compared to the one that faced América-RN, in the Copa do Brasil. Rodrigo Garro and coach António Oliveira were excluded from the Natal match and will return to Alvinegro. Finally, Diego Palacios, Maycon, Ruan Oliveira and Matheus Araújo remain in the medical department.
How to get to Fortaleza
Leão do Pici goes to San Paolo with four absences. After all, Calebe, Lucas Sasha, Cardona and Kuscevic remain in the medical ward and are out. Hércules and Bruno Pacheco were on the bench against Bragantino, but should start against Corinthians. 28 players traveled, including base fielder Jonathan. After the match, the team begins preparation for the duel against Nacional de Potosí, Bolivia. Despite still being undefeated, Fortaleza are coming off two draws and are trying to find their way back to victory.
