Atlético-PR and Corinthians meet today (14), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasilia time), at the Arena da Baixada, for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship.
Relegation and debut of Mancini
Timão is in the relegation zone, in 17th place, with only 15 points. The Paraná team has the same score as the Paulistas, but is two places higher in the table by an extra victory: 4 against 3. The match marks the debut of coach Vagner Mancini at Corinthians. The coach left Atlético-GO in 12th place and arrives with the mission of saving Timão from relegation.
Where to look
The game will be broadcast on TV Globo (SP, PR and part of the network) and on Premiere for all of Brazil.
Probable lineups
Athletic-PR: Jandrei; Jonathan, Pedro Henrique, Thiago Heleno, Abner; Wellington, Erick, Christian, Léo Cittadini (Ravanelli); Carlos Eduardo (Geuvânio) and Renato Kayzer. Coach: Eduardo Barros.
Corinthians: Walter, Fagner, Bruno Méndez, Gil and Lucas Piton (Sidcley); Gabriel, Ederson; Cazares Léo Natel and Mateus Vital; Jo. Coach: Vagner Mancini.
Absences and doubts
Athletic-PR: Coach Eduardo Barros will have practically the maximum strength for the duel. The only embezzlement is that of goalkeeper Santos, who defends the Brazilian team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. That’s because Geuvânio and Wellington are once again at his disposal. Nikão and Márcio Azevedo were released by the medical department and must play.
Corinthians: Vagner Mancini has a question in the lineup: Lucas Piton or Sidcley on the left back. That’s because Python was substituted in the first half of the match against Ceará due to pain in the adductor muscle of his thigh. Cássio is offside because he was sent off against Ceará. Walter will be the owner.
Arbitration
Referee: Savio Pereira Sampaio (DF)
Auxiliaries: Daniel Henrique da Silva Andrade-DF and José Reinaldo Nascimento Junior-DF.
WHERE: Elmo Alves Resende Cunha: LET’S GO.
Technicians strategy
Vagner Mancini wants to return the ‘Corinthians brand’, which means putting on the field a team that gives 90 minutes and conquers sweaty victories, in addition to a football with a more solid defense and that became Alvinegro’s brand in its last and main conquests. Mancini must bet on the 4-2-3-1 scheme, with Léo Natel, Cazares and Mateus Vital behind center forward Jô. The number 10 should start for the first time in Timão and act as a center-back in midfield.
Last showdown
Atlético-PR was defeated by Internacional by 2 to 1, in Porto Alegre, while Corinthians lost to Ceará by the same score, also playing away from home.
