The time of truth has arrived for Corinthians in the 2025 South American Cup.
Later, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), Timão visits Huracán.
The game will be held at El Palacio, in Buenos Aires.
And it’s valid for the sixth and final round of Group C of the competition.
Corinthians only depends on itself to advance, but it cannot stumble.
Timão has eight points, occupying the second position.
Rival for tonight, Huracán leads with 11. And a good advantage in goal difference, which is the first tiebreaker criterion.
There are eight goals in favor, against one from Dorival Júnior’s team.
In other words: it will advance in first place unless it loses by a three-goal difference.
Corinthians needs to do its part to secure at least a spot in the playoffs, as a stumble tends to mean elimination.
In third place with seven points, América de Cali will host the zero-point Racing Montevideo.
It is likely that they will defeat the only team without points in the current edition of the South American Cup and go to ten points.
Advancing to the playoffs will guarantee a prize of $500,000 (R$ 2.8 million).
The focus of the team commanded by Frank Kudelka is on the decision of the Argentine Apertura.
They dispatched Deportivo Riestra, Rosário Central, and Independiente to face another surprise, Platense, in the decision next Sunday (1st).
The expectation is that Kudelka will preserve some starters.
The lineup has not been released yet.
Dorival Júnior preserved starters against Atlético-MG, thinking precisely about the game of life or death tonight.
They lost Yuri Alberto, who suffered a fracture in the transverse process of the L1 vertebra, on the right side, after suffering a blow to the lumbar region.
But they returned to count on Memphis and Garro.
The Dutchman tends to be a reference.
Already the midfielder starts on the bench – which was already expected.
