Corinthians hosts Cruzeiro this Wednesday (11/20), at the Neo Química Arena, in the opening of the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. The departure will be at an unusual time for weekdays: at 11 am (Brasília time). The date is a public holiday – Black Awareness Day.
Timão has moved far away from the fight against relegation and is already dreaming of a place in next year’s Libertadores. The team enters the field in 11th place, with 41 points. There are six consecutive games without defeat in the Brasileirão, with three consecutive victories – in the last one, away from home, they beat Vitória 2-1.

Corinthians lineup against Cruzeiro
Coach Ramón Díaz will make changes to the team. Matheuzinho returns from suspension and should regain his place as starting right-back, with Fagner returning to the bench.
José Martínez, playing for the Venezuelan national team, should give way to Raniele, who will be played in defense, as Ecuadorian Félix Torres was also called up – he would return very close to the game. Defenders André Ramalho and Cacá are recovering from injuries and are unlikely to be fit for the match.
Corinthians lineup: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Raniele (Renato), Gustavo Henrique and Matheus Bidu; Charles, Alex Santana, André Carrillo and Rodrigo Garro; Memphis and Yuri Alberto. Technical: Ramon Diaz.
