Stumbling Coritiba are aching to pull off an upset when they greet top team Athletico PR in the upcoming league match. It’s 20th vs 6th and the home crowd will have not-so-high confidence.

Insights:
  • Coritiba have the most conceded goals (53) in Serie A
  • Athletico PR have won significantly less corners away then at home.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

There have been little to rest for the home team, as they featured in a Serie A match only four days earlier. That game was an away game at Sao Paulo, so at least Coritiba are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Coritiba form and stats

Coritiba's struggle is real here at Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira with only 9 points collected from 11 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-6. When Coritiba hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Bragantino, Fluminense, Gremio, Botafogo and Palmeiras), they have won 1 of 2 matches! There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as Coritiba have lost eight games in a row.

Coritiba faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sao Paulo (1-2). Midfielder Farias was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.14 (out of ten) in that game. Farias hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Vasco da Gama (1-5).

Take note that 17 of the most recent 22 league games from these players have had at least one goal from each side.

Coritiba are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. Coritiba have conceded 17 from these games.
