- Coritiba FC PR have hit form again at the right time in the Serie B 2025 season, racking up back-to-back wins with two clean sheets after a brief slump.

- Mozart has tweaked his team’s setup over recent weeks to get the side back on track and, with his side fresh from consecutive wins, they will be heavily favored to see off Cuiaba MT on Sunday, according to our Cuiaba MT vs Coritiba FC PR betting tips.
Cuiaba
- Cuiaba MT have gone unbeaten in their last five, but have tied three times, lacking a killer instinct to close games out - this is highlighted as a key point in the Cuiaba MT vs Coritiba FC PR betting tips.
- However, Eduardo Barros has done a good job to instill some structure to Cuiaba’s play since taking charge in August 2025.
- His system is based around keeping things compact at the back and then playing a possession-based game, where they can dictate the tempo and pick their spots to counter.
Head-to-Head
- Coritiba won 2-0 at home in June 2025, but Cuiaba won 3-0 away when they last met in October 2023. The Cuiaba MT vs Coritiba FC PR prediction reflects the unpredictability of their recent encounters.
- Couto Pereira has also been one of the toughest places to go in the division.
- Coritiba have conceded very few goals at home.
Key Players
- Cuiabá have a handful of players who can make a difference in the attacking third, but none more so than wide man Lucas Ronier or Iury Castilho, who have both contributed goals at the sharp end of recent victories.
- Alisson ‘Safira’ remains the main man in attack, however, with 9 Série B goals this season, and he returns to the line-up after suspension this weekend.
- However, the Dourado do Norte are likely to be without captain Alan Empereur for the long term after he was injured on international duty recently and key midfielder Calebe is out for a few weeks.
- Josué is the fulcrum of the visitors’ midfield, as he has been all season, and will have the freedom to push forward and create havoc in the Cuiabá box.
- Gustavo Coutinho is their main goal threat, but he also contributes to the creative process and has scored and assisted goals in recent wins.
Betting Insights
Coritiba are the favorites to win at 2.3 , with Barros’ men slightly longer at 3.3 and the draw coming in at 3.1 . The Cuiaba MT vs Coritiba FC PR betting tips are shaped by these odds.
Prediction
- Barros has made Cuiaba into one of the more entertaining teams in Serie B as they can play some decent soccer, but they lack the bite to kill teams off at the moment and rely on their ‘super-sub’ Juan Christian to come on and make things happen.
- But Coritiba are a well-disciplined, compact unit that won’t fall apart if Cuiaba hold onto the ball for long periods of time.
- We’re expecting a low-scoring game, as Coritiba have conceded very few goals at home, while Couto Pereira has also been one of the toughest places to go in the division.
- A 1-0 or 2-1 win for the away side looks the most likely outcome with a goal in the second half probably required to separate them if Cuiaba get a breakthrough through their substitutions or Coritiba’s set-piece play.
- Heavy rain and gusty conditions are forecast for Curitiba on Sunday, which could slow the game down and suit Coritiba’s aerial prowess.
- But if Cuiaba can lock down midfield control, as they have done in three ties, they will have a chance to grab a crucial point in their promotion pursuit.
