Corinthians forced into key change for Majestoso | OneFootball

São Paulo and Corinthians are set to renew their rivalry in the Majestoso on Saturday night at MorumBIS, with the two clubs entering the clash with key lineup changes and a familiar official in charge, according to Arquibancada Tricolor.

For Corinthians, right-back Matheuzinho will be absent after he picked up his third yellow card of the campaign in the draw against Ceará, ruling him out through suspension. Head coach Dorival Júnior will be forced to adjust his defensive line, with Léo Mana and Félix Torres—who has occasionally filled in at right-back—among the likely alternatives.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has appointed Anderson Daronco as the referee for this high-stakes derby, which marks the 15th round of the Brasileirão. Daronco, an experienced figure in Brazilian football, was officially confirmed as match official on Thursday. The encounter is set for a 21:00 kickoff, and São Paulo supporters have been snapping up tickets online ahead of the home fixture.

This fixture comes at a pivotal time for São Paulo, who are aiming to capitalize on continuity within their squad and the return of several fit players as they pursue a strong result in what remains one of Brazil’s most iconic derbies.
