Corinthians preview: Not in great mood at the moment
With just two wins in 16 matches they've played this season in Serie A, Corinthians have struggled to find their best form and they currently find themselves in the relegation zone. On the bright side, they are just three points behind the first team outside of it and we are still in the first half of this Serie A season, so Corinthians have enough time to turn things around.
Meanwhile, Ruan Oliveira, Diego Palacios, and Fagner are sidelined with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Donelli (GK), Matheuzinho, Torres, Caca, Farias, Raniele, Bidon, Garro, Romero, Alberto & Wesley

Criciuma preview: In good form and hoping for more
As a team that's spend the last decade outside of the top flight of Brazilian football, Criciuma have started their first season upon return to Serie A well and after their first 14 matches they have 17 points, which is enough to keep them five points clear of the first team in the relegation zone.
When it comes to team news, Jonathan Lemos and Felipe Vizeu are out with injuries at the moment.
