Coritiba vs Palmeiras Live Stream, Predictions

📏 Form Guide

Coritiba

WDDDLL

Coritiba will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Santos.

In that game, Coritiba had 44% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Santos had 17 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Marinho (37') and Marcos Leonardo (83') scored for Santos.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Coritiba have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Coxa have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 10 goals on the way.

Pre-game facts show that Coritiba:

• are undefeated in their previous 3 league matches at home.
• are without a win at home for the past 8 matches in the league. No joy for the home fans.

Palmeiras

DWDLDW

Palmeiras go into this game after a 3-0 Serie A win over Fortaleza in their last outing.

In that match, Palmeiras managed 67% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target. For Palmeiras, the scorers were Gustavo Scarpa (20'), Lucas Lima (26') and Breno (38'). Fortaleza had 5 attempts at goal with 1 on target.

For 5 of the prior six games featuring Palmeiras, a relatively low number of goals have gone in between them and opposing sides. The overall average number of goals per game within that period works out to a paltry 1.5, with the number of goals averaged by Verdão standing at 1. While that may be of interest, we must now wait to see whether that trend might be maintained in this upcoming match.

Heading into this fixture, Palmeiras have not won away from home in their last 2 league matches.
