Coritiba welcome Palmeiras on Wednesday, Jul 22 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). Palmeiras, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Coritiba face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Palmeiras have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Palmeiras won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

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