Head-to-head history 🆚 Inter and Corinthians have already faced each other in three other editions of the Copa do Brasil.  Colorado came out on top in the round of 16 in 1992 — the year they won the title — and in the fourth round in 2017. Timão, meanwhile, were champions in 2009 after defeating the team from Rio Grande do Sul. This will be their second meeting this year. Their Brasileirão first-round clash was in Itaquera and ended in a 1-0 win for Inter.  Internacional 🇦🇹 After drawing with Flamengo in the last Brasileirão round, Colorado are trying to fully bounce back after five matches without a win. A positive result is more than crucial for Pezzolano to get some breathing room in charge of Colorado. Matheus Cunha keeps his place in goal. The five-man line without the ball was kept, with Vitinho playing as the right wing-back. Alan Patrick starts.  Corinthians 🦅 Fernando Diniz welcomes back Matheu Bidu and saw Garro recover after a foot injury. The doubt was over the attacking setup, since Yuri Alberto will be out for an indefinite period. Kaio César and Gui Negão got the nod.  Photo: Reprodução/Internacional This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here.
