Player to watch: Gonzalo Mastriani
Gonzalo Mastriani opened the scoring in Athletico Paranaense's trip to Botafogo earlier this week, but Cuca's men were unable to hold on for all three points, conceding a heartbreaking 98th-minute equaliser. Mastriani is just starting to find his stride, as he scored three times in his last three matches. He'll fancy his chances against an out-of-form Corinthians.
