Corinthians are set to face Juventude at Neo Quimica Arena on Sunday evening in a Brasileiro clash. Corinthians are currently in 15th place with 19 points, while Juventude is in 13th place with 21 points.
Corinthians, after finishing in the top five in the previous two seasons, have struggled in the last two campaigns. Under new coach Ramon Diaz, they have failed to win any of their last three matches. However, they have not been beaten at home in their last five matches.
Juventude, on the other hand, are on a five-match losing streak on the road in the league and have the worst away record in the division. They will be looking to snap their winless streak in the league.
In terms of team news, Corinthians will be missing six players due to suspensions and injuries, while Juventude’s Joao Lucas is expected to return from injury but Danilo Boza has been ruled out.
