Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho: Sound the horn for a football jamboree when Náutico put their fighting gear on for Coritiba. Get the latest news on the game here!

Insights:
  • Náutico have the most points from losing position (15) in Serie B
  • Coritiba have the fewest conceded goals (26) in Serie B

It's no vacation for neither Náutico nor Coritiba as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams have little in common geographically as Coritiba have to travel 3000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Coritiba are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Náutico form and stats

6 victories, 6 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Náutico have to build on here at Estádio Eládio de Barros Carvalho in the Serie B.

Náutico lost their last game at Brusque (placed 16th) after a 3-4 scoreline. A goal frenzy last time out for Náutico, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Brusque. Fun stuff to watch! Midfielder Jean Carlos was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.24 (out of ten) in that game. Carlos scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Heartbreak before that as Náutico lost 2-3 at Brasil de Pelotas's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Náutico perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Náutico as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Náutico has won three of these, drawn eight and lost one.

There will be little rest for Náutico after this match as they are travelling to Confiança for a Serie B game in only three days.

The Náutico fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 25 goals in 16 league matches. 21 goals have been conceded.

Coritiba form and stats

Coritiba won their last game, 3-1 versus Operário PR played at home. Attacker Léo Gamalho got a player rating of 8.5 in the game. "Man of the match" Gamalho scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total).

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus CRB that ended 1-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Coritiba in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Coritiba, four draws and four defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie B trip to Goiás.
