Probable lineups
Corinthians – Coach: Fernando Lázaro
The big casualty at Corinthians is Renato Augusto, who suffered a strain in the medial collateral ligament of his right knee in the match against Santo André. The biggest possibility is Paulinho’s entry into the role. Still in midfield, Roni and Fausto Vera are vying for a spot.
Probable lineup: Cassio; Fagner, Gil, Bruno Méndez and Fábio Santos; Roni (Fausto), Giuliano, Paulinho (Du Queiroz or Maycon), Adson; Roger Guedes and Yuri Alberto.
Embezzlement: Renato Augusto (stretched medial collateral ligament of the right knee), as well as Rafael Ramos and Júnior Moraes (both in transition from the medical department to the field).
Hanging: the cards have been reset.
Ituano- Coach: Gilmar Dal Pozzo
As none of the suspended players received a yellow card against Santos, coach Gilmar Dal Pozzo has no suspensions for this afternoon’s game.

Lucas Siqueira has recovered from a finger fracture he suffered at the end of January and is at the coach’s disposal.
