Player to watch – Talles Magno
Talles Magno has been in solid goal-getting form for Corinthians in recent weeks and the promising attacker could be a threat again in the Paulista Derby on Thursday.
Magno is a potential match winner
Magno has registered four goals in his last seven appearances for Corinthians and the 22-year-old forward should be equipped with plenty of confidence on Thursday following his excellent recent run.
