The Timão lost 2-0 away to São Paulo in the Majestic Derby, and dropped to 10th place in the table. São Paulo hadn't won in five league games, yet outplayed Corinthians. Luciano was inspired and scored both goals in the first half. Corinthians had a good chance through Romero in the 25th minute, but goalie Rafael was better in the one-on-one. The visitors squandered the opportunity, and ten minutes later São Paulo was already 2-0 up, with goals scored in the 30th and 35th minutes. In the second half, the home team managed to hold off Corinthians' lackluster attack and secured the win. Dorival Júnior's side is still struggling to create attacking play since Yuri Alberto suffered an injury. The Corinthians fans are dissatisfied, and pressure is mounting on the coach.

Cruzeiro: Form and statistics
Cruzeiro cruised to a 4-0 win over Juventude and remains at the top of the Série A standings. The Gaúchos' resistance lasted until the 39th minute when Christian opened the scoring. At the start of the second half, Gabriel Barbosa made it 2-0, and from then on, the game became a walk in the park for the Miners. Gabigol scored his second goal to extend the lead in the 63rd minute with a penalty, and in the last minute, Eduardo sealed the result. This time, Kaio Jorge, the league's top scorer, didn't score, but the striker made two assists and won a penalty. Leonardo Jardim substituted Kaio Jorge in the 67th minute to save him for the next few games. Cruzeiro is in first place with 33 points, three points more than Flamengo. However, the Cariocas have one game in hand. The two teams have a large goal difference, which shows why they are dominating the league.

Corinthians vs Cruzeiro match prediction 24 July 2025
Cruzeiro is having a sensational campaign so far and leads the Brasileirão with 33 points. In the previous round, the Miners thrashed Juventude without much effort. The team coached by Portuguese Leonardo Jardim is very confident and hasn't lost in 10 games in the competition. Corinthians, on the other hand, lost the Majestic Derby with São Paulo, and a defeat to a rival always hurts. The Paulistas are in a modest 10th place, and their performances have been poor. Dorival Júnior, the Timão's boss, is under pressure, and a negative result in the next game will leave him in a very unstable position. It will be a challenging match for Corinthians if Cruzeiro maintains its usual standard. I'm betting on a Double Chance in favor of Cruzeiro with a maximum of three goals scored.
