Coritiba

LLDLDL ⚠

Coritiba will be hoping for a better result following the 3-2 Serie A loss in their previous game against Atletico PR.

In that match, Coritiba had 34% possession and 7 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. For Coritiba, the goalscorers were Marcelino Moreno (20') and Robson (66'). Athletico Paranaense got 26 shots on goal with 7 on target. Pablo (49'), Willian (91') and Agustín Canobbio (97') scored for Atletico PR.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that Coritiba have shown defensive steel. In fact, Coritiba have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 13 goals in the process. Despite that, we must now wait to see if that pattern will be replicated in this match or not.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Coritiba:

• have not registered a win against Atlético Mineiro in their previous 6 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches at home.
• are without a home win in the past 4 league matches. Fans are getting restless.

ℹ️ Team News: Coritiba

Júnior Urso (Muscle Injury), Benjamín Kuscevic (Tear in the abductor muscle) and Thiago Dombroski (Hamstring Injury) will not be taking part for Coritiba manager Antônio Zago. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Alef Manga and Jesús Trindade.

It looks as if Coxa should employ a 3-5-2 formation this time featuring Gabriel, Bruno Viana, Henrique, Jhon Chancellor, Marcos Vinicius, Liziero, Marcelino Moreno, Bruno Gomes, Jamerson, Robson and Zé Roberto.

📋 Team News: Atlético Mineiro

Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there is just the lone fitness problem for the Atlético Mineiro manager Eduardo Coudet to be concerned with. Alan Kardec (Herniated Disc) won’t be playing here.

We believe Galo will likely utilise a 4-4-2 system with a starting lineup of Éverson, Renzo Saravia, Bruno Fuchs, Mauricio Lemos, Dodô, Edenilson, Igor Gomes, Rodrigo Battaglia, Patrick, Hulk and Eduardo Vargas.
