These teams have little in common geographically as Ceará have to travel 3400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Coritiba have had a bad season and will be relegated from Serie A. Ceará is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
