CRB and Coritiba should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

CRB form and stats

CRB have played 15 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-8-2 (wins-draws-losses).

CRB's previous game was a Copa do Nordeste match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus River. The home side are looking to build on that result.

0-0 away at Vila Nova before that.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how CRB have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won four, drawn five and lost two.

CRB are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 15 games. On the other hand, CRB have conceded 15 goals.

Coritiba form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest conceded goals (13) away in Serie B, on their Serie B travels is 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Vasco da Gama's place.
