Corinthians vs Cruzeiro Prediction

Timão have enjoyed a good run of form, suffering just one loss in their last eight games across all competitions. They have won their last four league games, scoring 10 goals, and will look to continue their prolific run here.

André Ramalho and Cacá continue to be sidelined with injuries while Félix Torres is also unavailable as he is unlikely to return in time from international duty. Matheuzinho and Raniele are in contention to start.

Celeste have two wins in their last 10 games and will look to improve upon that record. They have suffered three losses in their last four Serie A away games while failing to score in each of them.

Matheus Pereira, Gabriel Veron, and Kaio Jorge are suspended here, which is likely to impact their attacking performance. Goalkeeper Cássio is a doubt against his former employers.

Timão have seen an upturn in form and considering the visitors' poor away record in the league, the hosts are expected to record a comfortable win.
