It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Coritiba and Palmeiras.

For Coritiba relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Palmeiras are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

The last victory here came in the Atletico GO match.

Coritiba faced defeat in their previous match, away at Santos (0-2). Heartbreak before that as Coritiba lost 1-3 at Fortaleza's place.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Ceara in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Coritiba here at Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 17 games). On the other hand, Coritiba have conceded 17 goals.

Palmeiras form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest conceded goals (32) in Serie A, on their Serie A travels is 6 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Palmeiras have lost on their last two travels.

The supporters enjoyed Palmeiras's previous game versus Fortaleza (placed 15th), a Serie A 3-0 win played at home. Before that, Palmeiras travelled to Al Ahly (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) and returned home with a draw after the FIFA Club World Cup game finished 0-0.

Palmeiras delivered their win in the match against Fortaleza already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Palmeiras manager A. Moreira Ferreira as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against Sao Paulo.

The visiting Palmeiras have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 17 goals from 16 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Palmeiras have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
