News and probable line-ups

In search of their fourth Brazilian Cup title, Corinthians will compete in the final of the competition for the eighth time after eliminating Cruzeiro on penalties, 5-4, in the semi-final. Before that, Timão beat Novorizontino in the third round by an aggregate score of 2-0, overcame rival Palmeiras in the round of 16 by 3-0, and eliminated Athletico-PR in the quarter-finals, also by an aggregate score of 3-0.

Despite his below-par performance in the match against Cruzeiro and the missed penalty, coach Dorival Júnior confirmed that Yuri Alberto will remain in the starting line-up. The striker is currently on a goal drought and has not found the net since 20th November.

"Yuri has a lot of personality, I'm not worried. If he continues to be a member of the team, the goal will come and he will be decisive," said the coach.

On the other hand, Vasco is seeking its second Brazilian Cup title and reaches the final after eliminating Fluminense on penalties, 4-3. In the current edition of the tournament, the Gigante da Colina also beat Botafogo on penalties, 5-3, in the quarter-finals, in addition to eliminating CSA with an aggregate score of 3-1. Before that, they beat União Rondonópolis and Nova Iguaçu 3-0 and beat Operário-PR on penalties, 7-6, in the early stages.

It was a moment of profound ecstasy and joy to see the fans celebrating something they so richly deserve. We took another step towards the dream of every Vasco fan. It has all the makings of a great final. Corinthians has a great team, fans who support them a lot, and they will play a game in São Paulo on their home turf, and we will play the final here at Maracanã. We have to know how to rest and how to prepare. It has everything it takes to be two great games," said coach Fernando Diniz.

Corinthians: HugoSouza; Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, André Ramalho, Matheus Bidu, José Martínez, Maycon, Breno Bidon, André Carrillo, Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.
