Coritiba

LDLWWL

Coritiba will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 3-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Flamengo.

In that match, Coritiba had 38% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. On the other side, Flamengo had 21 attempts on goal with 9 on target. Lino (11', 70') and Pedro (60') scored for Flamengo.

It’s not been often in recent games where Coritiba have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Coritiba have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 13 goals in the process. It will be interesting to find out if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Leading up to this clash, Coritiba:

• have not registered a win against Palmeiras in their previous 4 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 6 league matches at home.

In that game, Palmeiras managed 48% possession and 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Palmeiras was Paulinho (65'). Chapecoense got 15 shots on goal with 3 on target.

A look at their previous results shows us that Palmeiras:

• have not lost to Coritiba when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.

📰 Team News: Coritiba

Pedro Morisco (Shoulder injury) and Rodrigo Rodrigues (Torn ankle ligaments) aren’t available for Coritiba manager Fernando Seabra. Pedro Rocha will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are thinking that Coxa may well employ a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with Pedro Rangel, Tinga, Tiago Coser, Jacy, Bruno Melo, Thiago Santos, Sebastian Gomez, Lucas Ronier, Josué, Breno Lopes and Renato Marques.

📋 Team News: Palmeiras

Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira has some current player fitness concerns. Vitor Roque (Injury to the ankle), Jefté (Meniscus tear), Agustín Giay (Ankle sprain) and Felipe Anderson (Hamstring injury) will not be playing here. Allan cannot play in this game through suspension.

We reckon that Verdão will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Gustavo Gomez, Murilo Cerqueira, Arthur Gabriel, Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Mauricio, Lucas Evangelista, Jhon Arias and Ramón Sosa.

💡 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Coritiba will have to work hard as a team to breach the defence of this Palmeiras team who we think will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re therefore tipping a highly competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Palmeiras when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be an interesting one.
