Corinthians Prepares for Crucial Match Against Athletico in Fight for Survival
Today is a decisive day for Corinthians as they gear up for a pivotal clash against Athletico-PR. The match, scheduled for Thursday, October 17th at 8 PM (Brasília time), will take place at the Neo Química Arena in São Paulo, marking the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. With their position in the league at stake, this game is critical in Corinthians' fight to avoid relegation. Currently, they are balancing multiple competitions—Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, and Copa Sul-Americana—and aiming to close the year with at least two trophies.
Despite the looming semifinal against Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil on Sunday, October 20th, coach Ramón Díaz is expected to field his strongest lineup against Athletico, showing just how vital this match is for the team. With the pressure mounting, the squad must dig deep to stay afloat in the league while dreaming of securing silverware in the cup competitions.

Several key players will be returning for this game. Alex Santana, after recovering from a left thigh injury that sidelined him for two months, and Talles Magno, who faced a minor thigh problem, are back in training and could be included in the lineup. Additionally, Fagner, André Ramalho, and Ángel Romero, who were suspended for the previous match against Internacional, are now available for selection. Romero, who has just returned from international duty with Paraguay, will be assessed before the match. José Martínez, who was released early by Venezuela due to suspension, is expected to start, giving Corinthians a boost in midfield.
For the match, the probable starting lineup includes Hugo Souza in goal, with Fagner, André Ramalho, Cacá, and Matheus Bidu in defense. In midfield, José Martínez, Breno Bidon, André Carrillo, and Rodrigo Garro are likely to feature, while Memphis Depay could start up front alongside Yuri Alberto.
