Corinthians and Cruzeiro have announced their respective lineups for the 23rd round of the 2026 Brasileirão, set to take place on Sunday at the Neo Química Arena. The match between the two teams will commence at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
Timao, currently sitting in ninth place with 32 points, is aiming for a second consecutive victory in the league to secure a spot in the coveted G-5. The team has seen success in recent matches, with coach Artur Jorge opting for a cautious approach, fielding only the squad's reserves in their previous game.
Cruzeiro, on the other hand, finds itself in sixth place with 33 points and is also targeting a move into the G-5. In preparation for the upcoming encounter, coach Raposa decided to play a more defensive game, starting only goalkeeper Otávio Costa, center-back Jonathan Jesus, and forward Kaio Jorge.
Meanwhile, Corinthians, who recently faced a 0-0 draw with Rosario Central in the Copa Libertadores, will be led by coach Fernando Diniz. In this match, Diniz has chosen to make only one substitution, bringing forward Carrillo into the lineup to replace Raniele.
