Corinthians Vs Atlético Mineiro set for 18:30 at Neo Química Arena
Corinthians vs atlético mineiro lands Sunday at 18:30 at Neo Química Arena, with the home side treating the Brasileirão meeting like a “final de Copa do Mundo.” Corinthians enter the 17th round with 18 points and 37% performance in Série A, while Atlético-MG arrive after wins over Cienciano and Mirassol.
Fernando Diniz and the chase
Fernando Diniz has framed the match in direct terms, and his team has shifted its attention fully to the league after leaving the Conmebol Libertadores aside. That makes the visit from Atlético-MG more than a routine home date for a side trying to move away from the relegation zone.
Gabriel Paulista is expected back after suspension, and Memphis Depay may be listed after two months of recovery from injury. Corinthians’ probable lineup includes Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu, Raniele, Carrillo, Breno Bidon, Garro, Lingard and Yuri Alberto.
Atlético-MG’s road test
Atlético-MG bring a clean disciplinary slate into the match, with Eduardo Domínguez not losing any players for Sunday. Their probable lineup lists Everson, Natanael, Ruan Tressoldi, Júnior Alonso, Renan Lodi, Alan Franco, Maycon, Bernard, Cuello, Alan Minda and Cassierra.
The visitors also have five players listed as doubtful or unavailable: Patrick, Índio, Scarpa, Tomás Pérez, Ivan Román, Ruan Tressoldi, Júnior Alonso and Renan Lodi. Even with that list, Atlético-MG have reason to lean on recent results and a 19,05% away record as they try to keep their run moving.
Rafael Rodrigo Klein at Neo Química
Rafael Rodrigo Klein will referee the match, with Rafael da Silva Alves and Anne Kesy Gomes de Sá as assistants. Gustavo Ervino Bauermann is the fourth referee, and Paulo Renato Moreira da Silva Coelho will be in the VAR booth.
Premier will show the game live, and ge will track every play in real time. For Corinthians, the task is simple: make the points count in a round that already changed their table position before kickoff.
