Team analysis: Athletic

After 7 wins and 10 losses, the home side finds themselves in 13th place with 21 points. In their last outing, they secured a victory against the railway team (1-2) and previously won convincingly at home against Avaí (4-0). Interestingly, Athletic has recorded better results away from home, accumulating 12 points on the road compared to just 9 on home turf. In their last 8 home games in the league, Athletic has recorded 3 wins and 5 losses, finishing with 9 points from a possible 24. Their matches at home have often ended in draws, with a score of 0-0 featured in 3 of the 8 matches. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 league games, indicating a leaky defence. Furthermore, 7 of their last 8 home matches for this competition have concluded with over 1.5 goals. Athletic has also shown difficulty in turning around matches when conceding first; in 8 instances, they have only managed to achieve one comeback. Interestingly, in their last 20 home matches across all competitions, they conceded 9 of their 24 goals in the final minutes (76’–90′).

Athletic has had an inconsistent season, with victories interspersed with defeats, jeopardising their standing above the relegation zone. Despite moments of offensive promise, maintaining regularity has been a challenge. As they host Coritiba, they will need to leverage their home advantage to secure a result against a resilient opponent.

Team analysis: Coritiba

After 10 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, the visitors currently sit at the top of the table with 33 points. In their last match, they suffered a defeat to Paysandu (2-5) and previously claimed a narrow win over CRB (0-1). Coritiba has demonstrated a consistent performance, with a similar tally of points whether playing at home or away, scoring 12 goals and conceding 6 at home, while managing 6 goals and conceding 5 on their travels. In their last 9 league matches, Coritiba has secured 4 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, amassing a respectable 14 points from a possible 27.

As visitors, they remain unbeaten in their last 5 matches. Notably, 7 of their 8 games so far have ended with a score of 0-0 at half-time, showcasing their strong defensive capability. In fact, they have only conceded goals in 2 of their last 10 league encounters, and their attack has also been consistent, scoring in 8 of those 10 games. Coritiba’s recent away games have tended towards low scoring, with 7 of the last 9 matches finishing with fewer than 2.5 goals. Moreover, they have scored 8 of their 21 goals during the closing stages of the first half (31′-45′).

Coritiba is enjoying a positive phase in the competition, displaying a string of victories with only one recent defeat. Their strength lies in their balance between scoring and solid defending, allowing them to dominate matches. For this fixture, Coritiba must maintain their competitive edge, controlling possession and capitalising on Athletic’s mistakes to secure another three points.
