Player to watch – Angel Romero

Paraguayan striker Angel Romero is a reliable source of goals for Corinthians and the 32-year-old managed to register five times in his last six appearances in all competitions.

Romero is a threat in the final third

Romero scored for Corinthians when they last visited the Arena BRB Mané Garrincha (Sep ’23) and the forward will be eager to deliver another decisive moment at the same venue in the Clássico Majestoso on Sunday.
