- Coritiba have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last five games.
- The most recent two results have seen them earn a 0-0 away draw at Red Bull Bragantino and suffer a 1-0 home defeat to Cruzeiro, the latter of which put pressure on Seabra to keep his job on with 10 games of the season remaining.

Head-to-Head
Draw looks good value at 3.85, but the last two meetings have produced a draw and a Chapecoense win, so the Coxa should be able to edge it at their place.
Betting Insights
- A Coritiba win looks the most likely outcome of this matchup, but the odds of 1.58 suggest it will be a cagey affair.
- A tight 2-0 home win could be the way to go, with 1.85 on Under 2.5 goals & both teams to score also appealing.
- Chapecoense have scored just six times away all season, so it is likely that Coritiba will have to force their way through a stubborn visiting defense to get the goals they need to take maximum points.
Prediction
- This is a classic pressure vs block matchup in prospect, where Coritiba will attempt to push Chapecoense into their own half from the first whistle and Chapecoense will aim to remain compact and deny the hosts space in the center of the field, while looking for chances from transitions and set-pieces.
- A Coritiba win looks the most likely outcome of this matchup.
