Guarani v Coritiba

Guarani vs Coritiba Preview

Guarani will be keen to extend their unbeaten sequence in the Brazilian Serie B to four games when they take on Coritiba in this midweek clash at their Estádio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa as the hosts head into this upcoming encounter on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Santos, while Coritiba are unbeaten in their last four games overall and they recorded a 1-0 home win against Avai last time out in the domestic second tier.

Guarani picked up back-to-back wins recently against Vila Nova and Chapecoense respectively along with the aforementioned point with Santos so the hosts will feel reasonably confident about their chances of gaining a result of some sort at their Estádio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa in this upcoming clash.

However, the bigger picture shows Guarani have managed to collect just three wins within their previous 18 league matches overall in the Brazilian Serie B while also being dealt no fewer than nine defeats in the process, so the prospects of a home win here for the bottom placed club looks fairly unlikely.

The goals market may appeal here though as nine out of Guarani's last 18 league matches have resulted in both teams scoring.

Coritiba have lifted themselves up into eighth place in the Serie B table thanks to picking up three wins on the trot in recent weeks with victories gained over the likes of Brusque, Sport Recife and Avai respectively, along with an earlier point gained in a 1-1 draw at home with Ponte Preta.

However, despite also collecting a previous 1-0 home win against Chapecoense as well, these have been Coritiba's only highlights within their previous 12 league matches in the domestic second tier and having also slipped to five defeats within this period as well, the chances of a Coritiba win away from home here may well hang in the balance at the Estádio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa.

Defeats at the hands of Amazonas, CRB, Mirassol, Santos and Botafogo places the visitors in a similar boat to that of their upcoming hosts Guarani in respect of recent results gained in the past few weeks.

In addition, Coritiba have registered just two wins in their last 18 outings on the road whilst also slipping to a total of 10 defeats in the process, thus making this upcoming midweek battle a potentially tight affair and one which could ultimately end in a stalemate between the two sides.

Guarani v Coritiba Verdict

Both Guarani and Coritiba have struggled to produce consistent results over a long period of time in the Brazilian Serie B so both teams to hit the back of the net in what could unfold it into a possible score-draw looks to be on the cards here.
