Coritiba
LWLLWW
Coritiba, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-1 Serie B triumph over Criciuma.
In that game, Coritiba had 52% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Coritiba was Vini Paulista (60'). For their opponents, Criciuma had 17 shots at goal with 6 of them on target.
A recurring characteristic of more recent Coritiba games is the number of results with a nil in them.
Taking their prior 6 clashes before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a losing one. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, though.
Ahead of this clash, Coritiba are undefeated in their last 4 home league matches.
Avaí
WWLDDW
Avaí go into this game following a 2-1 Serie B win as they beat Chapecoense in their previous fixture.
In that game, Avaí had 45% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For Avaí, the scorers were Cléber (49') and Hygor (85'). On the other side, Chapecoense got 16 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.
A sequence of hard-working performances from the Avaí defenders has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their last 6 clashes overall. Over that same period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 9.
Pre-game facts show that Avaí:
- have not registered a win against Coritiba in games played away from home for the previous 4 matches in the league. Not good.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 2 league matches.

Head to head

Team News: Coritiba
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Coritiba gaffer Mozart Santos to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group of players. Rodrigo Moledo (Knock) misses out.
