Coritiba will be looking to return to the winning ways this week when they travel to Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid for a clash against Red Bull Bragantino at their home turf. Match day schedules for June 16, 2022 at 01:00 EAT.
The home team is now nine places and nine points worse off than at this stage of last season as they currently sit 11th in the Brasileiro Serie A standings with 14 points, just two points above the relegation zone and three behind the top six. Bragantino has been on a poor run at home lately and are letting in goals in alarming numbers; in fact, they have a total of just one win at this venue in over more than two months.
Red Bull Bragantino held each other to 1-1 Serie A draw with Cuiabá in their last game. In that match, Bragantino had 57% possession, eight shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Artur (17′). Cuiabá got 19 shots with five of them on target and a goal by André (45′).
Meanwhile, Gustavo Morinigo’s side has now won only one of their last five Brasileiro Serie A games but they are still sitting inside the top seven, just three points behind the automatic qualification spots for the Copa Libertadores. Cortiba is also going through a poor stretch of results and especially on the road they are on a long winless streak; they last managed to secure a win on the road back in March.
Coritiba and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here following 0-2 Serie A defeat at the hands of Palmeiras. In that match, Coritiba managed 47% possession and 11 shots with four of them on target. Palmeiras got 16 shots with six of them on target and goals by Dudu (23′) and Rony (63′).
