With teams preparing for the final two matchdays of the ongoing Brazil Serie A, we have Coritiba Football Club taking on Corinthians at the Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba. Going in the game, there’s much for Corinthians as they wouldn’t want to lose to their Libertadores qualification. On the other hand, Coritiba will be playing the contest as a regular event without anything important on the line. According to the table standings of now, Coritiba stands 15th with just 12 wins and 41 points so far. On the other hand, Corinthians stand in the top 4, with 18 wins and 64 points from 36 games. The last time these two sides played, Corinthians won 3-1 and are likely to win again. 

Going in the game, Coritiba is coming off wins against Flamengo (1-0) and Juventude (0-1). Coritiba can make reasonable progress and take advantage of multiple injuries in the Corinthians’ camp for the upcoming fixture. With a goal-scoring average of 1 goal per game, Coritiba will look to extend its unbeaten run at home and back Alef Manga to score and target the opposition’s net. Corinthians is likely to move ahead with the same 4-1-4-1 formation without trying anything fancy. 

Going in the contest against Coritiba, Corinthians needs to find alternatives to injuries that are likely to persist as the Brazil Serie A comes to a close. With the unavailability of Xavier, Paulinho, Gustavo Mosquito, Junior Moraes, and Adson, Corinthians might find it difficult to play an all-out attack. With a goal-scoring average of 1.2 goals per game, Corinthians is likely to take the lead against Coritiba and then fall back to defend. 

Going in the game, Corinthians will have to find some work cutouts to win. The game total is expected to be under 2 goals, and Corinthians to win 0-1.
