The odds favour Fortaleza in this game versus Coritiba, but the away side will battle to the bitter end. Here's the Tipsway match guide!

Insights:
  • Fortaleza have the fewest scored goals in the first half (5) in Serie A
  • Coritiba have the most conceded goals (26) away in Serie A

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

These are busy days for the hometeam, as they played only three days ago in the Copa Sudamericana. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at América Mineiro.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa Sudamericana game versus América Mineiro in only four days. This game is also played here at Estádio Municipal Presidente Getúlio Vargas.

Coritiba form and stats

Coritiba have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-2-7 (10 played). With the Coritiba losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Gomez hit one key pass and had 24 successful passes (of 27 total).

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Corinthians's place.
