Corinthians:
Corinthians Sao Paulo is one of the most successful clubs in Brazil with seven league titles and three cup wins. In 2017, Corinthians became nine points ahead of city rivals Palmeiras Sao Paulo champions. In 19 home games, there were twelve victories and only two defeats. But in the current season, the defending champion is not doing so well. Sao Paulo has only 19 points left after 14 match days. That’s enough for eighth place. In addition to five wins, there were already five defeats. At home, Corinthians is still undefeated. In addition to four home wins, there were three draws. The goal difference in the Arena Corinthians is 8: 3. With four points from seven away games, the champion is only 13th on the away table. After the World Cup break Corinthians completed two games. At home against Botafogo you could win 2-0. The away game at FC Sao Paulo lost the team but with 1: 3. Newcomer Jonathas, who became the most expensive newcomer in the club’s history of Hannover 96 in the 2017/18 season, scored the winner’s honor. The striker is previously only loaned by the Lower Saxony. But Corinthians has a purchase option. Jonathas gave private reasons for the change request. Corinthians coach Osmar Loss is under pressure after his city break-up. There was criticism, among other things, that he let Marquinhos Gabriel play against the strong striker Militao.
Already in the league break was discussed in the board about whether you want to stick to the coach. In beating Botafogo, the coach was saved by Cassio’s top performance. So far it is said that one has confidence in the coach and wants to play the season in any case with him to an end. The coach also has to accept the transfer of Stümer Rodriguinho, who switched to the highest Egyptian league for Pyramids FC for about 5 million euros during the break. Rodriguinho was with five goals this season’s top scorer of the master. Midfielder Maycon and center-back Fabian Balbuena left the club in recent weeks. In return came for the defensive midfielder Douglas Augusto of Fluminense Rio de Janeiro. Against Cruzeiro, coach Loss is likely to miss central midfielder Guilherme Mantuan, center-back Pedro Henrique, six-man Ralf and striker Roger.
Cruzeiro:
Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte has already won the championship in Brazil four times and the Cup five times already. Last year, they won the cup final in a return match against Flamengo Rio de Janeiro. The last Campeonato Brasileiro season finished Cruzeiro in fifth, fifteen points behind the champions. Things are going better in the current season. After 14 games Belo Horizonte is in third place in the league. The team have conceded only nine goals, but also met only 13 times. In front of the home fans there were in addition to five wins in the current season only one draw and only one defeat. At home you only had to concede four goals. It does not go so well out there. In seven games, there were two wins with a goal difference of 3: 5. Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte has already played three games after the World Cup break. In the Copa do Brasil, there was a 1-1 home win against Atletico Paranaense. In the league there were two home victories against America Belo Horizonte and again against Atletico Paranaense. Coach Mano Menezes can reinstate Henrique and Alejandro Cabral, who were still suspended in the League home game against Atletico Paranaense, against Corinthians. The strikers Sassa and Fred are still missing due to injury.
