Coritiba form and stats
Coritiba are steadily winning Serie B games and points here at Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira. 4 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 8 games.
The fans are hoping that Coritiba will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Serie B game against CSA (placed 11th). Midfield player Willian Farias got a match rating of 7.11 in that game, the max score being 10. Farias had 76 successful passes (of 86 total).
A strong away win before that one, visiting Brasil de Pelotas and winning 2-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Coritiba have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won two times, drawn six and lost one.
The manager G. Morínigo Vázquez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Avaí in only three days.
A decent goal production from Coritiba in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. Coritiba have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Ponte Preta form and stats
Ponte Preta have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 0-4-5 (9 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ponte have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Sao Caetano game.
Ponte go into this game after a win, the home game against Confiança that ended 4-2. Midfielder Fessin was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.53. Fessin scored two goals and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Ponte, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Londrina.We have checked recent matches where Ponte have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, three draws and four defeats.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ponte's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 9 matches. As opposed to that, Ponte Preta have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
