Corinthians needs to win or win on this Thursday night (15) on Uruguayan soil.

Soon, from 7 pm (Brasília time), Timão will face Racing Montevideo at Centenário.

Game that closes the fifth round of Group C of the Copa Sudamericana.

Key situation 📊

Huracán leads with 11 points and can secure first place if Corinthians (five) doesn't win.

The current second-placed team - and another team that overtakes Timão - is América de Cali, which has seven.

Racing, on the other hand, is scoreless. It's the only team without points in the entire competition.

A win will leave Corinthians depending only on itself to finish first, since it will visit Huracán in the last round.

Racing 🇺🇾

The mission is to end the participation in the Sudamericana by erasing the bad impression left so far.

It hasn't taken the field since last week, when it was defeated by Huracán.

The campaign in the local league is still good. It hasn't won in four rounds, but it's in fifth place.

The lineup of the team led by Cristian Chambian has not been released yet.

Corinthians 🦅

Despite the need to win, Timão will not use an alternative team thinking about the sequence with Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil.

Only two athletes considered starters will play: André Ramalho and Hugo Souza.

The lineup includes: Hugo Souza; Léo Mana, André Ramalho, João Pedro Tchoca, and Matheus Bidu; Ryan, Charles, and Alex Santana; Romero, Talles Magno, and Héctor Hernández.

Félix Torres is out due to suspension.

Memphis is recovering from a sprain in his right ankle, Raniele from edema in the anterior muscle of his right thigh, and Gustavo Henrique is treating an inguinal hernia.

Garro is still recovering from patellar tendinopathy in his right knee.
