Coritiba
LWLLWW
Coritiba are hoping to win again following a 0-1 Serie B success against Criciuma.
In that game, Coritiba managed 52% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Coritiba was Vini Paulista (60'). Criciuma had 17 attempts 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 come into this clash following on from a 2-1 Serie B win over Chapecoense in their most recent fixture.
In that game, Avaí had 45% possession and 20 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Avaí, the goals were scored by Cléber (49') and Hygor (85'). At the other end, Chapecoense had 16 shots at goal with 2 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.

Team News: Coritiba
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Coritiba boss Mozart Santos to contend with due to a largely intact set of players. Rodrigo Moledo (Knock) will miss out.
