Dorival Júnior's side trail the Copa Libertadores qualification zone (top 7) by eight points, making it unlikely they will close the gap in the remaining four rounds.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Cruzeiro head into this match as clear favorites, especially given their impressive home form with 12 wins in 17 home games. They consistently deliver strong performances on their own turf. Their defensive line ranks among the best in the league, conceding just 12 goals in 34 rounds. The "Foxes" are eyeing the top spots, and any slip-up could cost them a shot at the title or a direct ticket to the Copa Libertadores.
Corinthians, on the other hand, struggle on the road. Their counter-attacking style doesn't always yield results, as evidenced by their mere 4 wins in 17 away matches. We anticipate a tense encounter where Cruzeiro's home dominance will be pivotal. Considering the pressure from the hosts, we suggest betting on over 9.5 corner kicks, which has occurred in 5 head-to-head matches between these teams at Mineirão Stadium.
