Player to watch: Yuri Alberto
Yuri Alberto should be available for selection after missing the last two weeks with a stomach injury. The former Zenit St Petersburg player is Corinthians' top scorer in the Serie A with four goals.
It is important to note that Alberto has three direct goal involvements in his last three encounters with Fluminense. It will be interesting to see if he can score in three consecutive Serie A games for the first time since November 2022.
