Coritiba welcome Corinthians on Sunday, Aug 23 at 5:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Coritiba come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Corinthians, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Coritiba face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Corinthians have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Corinthians won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Coritiba a slight edge, but Corinthians are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
