Brazil’s top flight returns on Sunday after a month-long pause for the Club World Cup, with Corinthians hosting Red Bull Bragantino in the 13th round at São Paulo’s Neo Química Arena. Kickoff is set for 19:00 local time. Corinthians enter the fixture 10th in the table on 16 points and seeking their first league win since the ninth round, having drawn four consecutive matches. Coach Dorival Júnior will again be without leading scorer Yuri Alberto, who remains sidelined by a lower-back injury, but Memphis Depay is available after apologising for missing training earlier in the week. Bragantino, fourth with 23 points, aim to stay within reach of the leaders despite a 3–0 defeat by Bahia before the break. Manager Fernando Seabra cannot call on injured goalkeeper Fabrício, forward Fernando or suspended right-back Andres Hurtado. Midfielder Gabriel, who spent six seasons at Corinthians, could start against his former club. Probable line-ups have Hugo Souza in goal for Corinthians behind a back four of Matheuzinho, André Ramalho, Cacá and Fabrizio Angileri, with Maycon anchoring midfield. Bragantino are expected to counter with Cleiton in goal and a front three led by Eduardo Sasha. The match offers Corinthians a chance to close the seven-point gap to their state rivals, while Bragantino can move level with the top three with a victory.
