Palmeiras welcome Coritiba on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 4:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Palmeiras come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Coritiba travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Palmeiras here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Coritiba, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Coritiba won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

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