A 4-2 defeat against RB Bragantino last time out was not only their second straight defeat but also their fourth straight Serie A game without a victory.
The last game broke a trend of low-scoring matches for Coritiba in the Brazilian top-flight, as six of their previous seven league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Coritiba have taken just a point from their last two home matches in Serie A. However, they had won their previous four home matches in the league on home soil, so they are usually a difficult team to face on their own patch.
Athletico Paranaense
The visitors are in fourth place in the table, currently occupying the last automatic qualification spot for next season’s Copa Libertadores. Luiz Felipe Scolari’s team is unbeaten in their last six league matches in the Brazilian top flight. However, their previous two Serie A games have finished in draws against Fortaleza and Corinthians.
Before their last two league outings, Athletico’s league matches have been high-scoring as five of their previous seven games in Serie A have produced under 2.5.
Scolari’s team is unbeaten in their last three away games, having recorded two wins and a draw. However, the visitors have also won just two of their previous ten league games on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that this will end in a goalless stalemate, which will not do much for either team’s objectives in the Brazilian top-flight.
