📋 Corinthians and Cruzeiro line-ups confirmed for semi-final return

Corinthians and Cruzeiro face off this Sunday (14), at Neo Química Arena, at 6pm (Brasília time), in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinals.

Since they won the first match 1-0, Timão only need a draw to qualify for the final.

Raposa, on the other hand, needs to win by one goal to take it to penalties, or by two or more goals to advance in the tournament.

Whoever advances will face the winner of Fluminense vs Vasco (1 x 2), on December 17 and 21, with the decisive match being played at Maracanã.

Compared to the match at Mineirão, coach Leonardo Jardim chose to bring in Jonathan, Matheus Henrique, and Sinisterra in place of Villalba, Romero, and Arroyo, respectively, for Cruzeiro.

As for Corinthians, coach Dorival Jr is fielding exactly the same starting lineup as in the first leg.
