Before Corinthians x América-MG, Luxemburgo is mystery with lineup

Vanderlei Luxemburgo is full of mystery for the game between Corinthians It is America-MG at Brazil’s Cup. The two teams will decide who will advance to the next stage of the tournament this Saturday afternoon, the 15th, starting at 4:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena. The coach held a closed training session on Friday, the 14th, and did not inform the athletes who were listed for the second leg of the quarterfinals.

It is important to highlight that Corinthians should have some changes in the starting lineup. With Rojas guaranteed in the CBF Daily Newsletter, Vanderlei Luxemburgo should promote the entry of the Paraguayan as a starter in the team. This will be the midfielder’s debut match with Timão’s shirt and he should team up with Renato Augusto in the midfield sector.

Another novelty may be the return of a lineup of four in Corinthians’ starting lineup. After Luxemburgo used his main team with a line of five in the last matches, the coach should return with four defenders and add another attacker in the offensive sector. This change is likely, as the coach has been liking what he has seen from Rojas and, therefore, Timão can go to the field with a formation based on the 4-1-4-1 or on a 4-3-3.

With these uncertainties, Corinthians will go to the field for the game against América-MG as follows: Cassius; Fagner, Gil, Murillo and Matheus Bidu; Moscardo, Fausto Vera and Renato Augusto; Matías Rojas, Roger Guedes and Yuri Alberto. Vanderlei Luxemburgo will have the young Biro, Wesley and Felipe Augusto at his disposal on the bench, who have been great highlights.
