Coritiba form and stats

There's been little loot from Coritiba's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games in the Serie A. Coritiba only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws.

Coritiba played 3-3 against Fluminense in their previous match. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Vasco da Gama.

Drawing 3-3 against Fluminense after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager G. Morínigo Vázquez needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Fluminense was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
