Meanwhile, Mineiro has 55 points and will play in the next Copa Sudamericana, but if it wins and Atlético Paranaense loses or draws, it will qualify for the Libertadores preliminary round.

Corinthians preview
Corinthians is coming off a draw on the road to Coritiba, who are in 15th place, while out of the remaining four matches, they won two (1-0 against Caerá and 2-1 vs Flamengo), drew one (0-0 vs Goiás) and lost another (0-2 vs Fluminense).
The top scorer is Róger Guedes, with 10 of Corinthians’s 44 goals in 37 matchdays. Yuri Alberto is in second place with 8 goals, but he is the top player. In the next few hours, the Paulista club’s directors will meet with their counterparts from Zenit of Russia (owner of his contract) to try to sign him definitively.
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Cássio, Fágner, Gil, Robert Renan, Lucas Pitón, Fausto Vera, Du Queiroz, Ramiro, Renato Augusto, Mateus Vital; Yuri Alberto.
Atlético Mineiro Preview
The team has just beaten Cuiabá 3-0 at home, and of its last four matches, it lost one (2-0 away to Botafogo), drew two (2-2 against San Pablo and 0-0 against Fortaleza, both away), and won another (1-0 at home against Juventude).
Their top player is the powerful striker Hulk, who has scored 12 of Mineiro’s 44 goals in the league; however, he has been unable to play for several weeks due to injury, and his place has been taken by the good Chilean striker Eduardo Vargas.
Although Atlético Mineiro and Paranaense have the same amount of points (55), they are in 6th place on goal difference, which allows them to qualify for the 2023 Copa Libertadores playoffs for the time being. In other words, Mineiro needs to win and hope that the last finalist of the highest regional competition fails to win three points to qualify.
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Éverson, Mariano Ferreira, Jemerson, Réver, Dodô, Allan, Jair, Matías Zaracho, Ignacio Fernández, Keno, Eduardo Vargas.
JefeBet Prediction
Of the last five meetings between the two teams, Corinthians has won only one, the most recent, on July 24, when it defeated them 2-1. They, it lost the other four, including the last match in which it hosted Mineiro at home (1-2). We predict this to be a close game, but at JefeBet we believe that the victory will go to the visiting team.
Prediction: Atlético Mineiro wins 1-2.
