Coritiba ended a two-game losing run last round, drawing 0-0 away at Bragantino. Fernando Seabra's side sit 10th, ahead of Cruzeiro on goal difference. A win would push them closer to the top eight; lose and they could drop to 13th. Six points clear of the relegation zone, the newly promoted side aren't under any serious pressure here.

Cruzeiro Team Overview
The away side's last official match took place in the Série A (Cruzeiro at home, Botafogo away). It finished 0-1.
Match stats (Cruzeiro vs Botafogo):
- possession: 62% vs 38%;
- corners: 9 vs 1;
- fouls: 14 vs 18;
- yellow cards: 4 vs 5;
- shots on target: 6 vs 4.
Cruzeiro, under Arthur Jorge, lost at home to Botafogo last round (0-1). The Foxes aren't in any danger of relegation, but the first half of the season has been a disappointment - after finishing third and challenging for the title last year, they sit tenth after 21 rounds. That said, form has improved noticeably in recent months: Cruzeiro have gone unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 matches and are only six points off the top three.
The away form has been solid too - eight games without a defeat on the road. Defensively, though, there are problems: in 6 of their last 7 league rounds, Cruzeiro have scored but also conceded. Trips to Curitiba have historically been tough for the Foxes - and in their last four matches at Estádio Couto Pereira, they haven't managed a single goal.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Coritiba and Cruzeiro arrive at this match with different objectives, but recent form and head-to-head history suggest the visitors will struggle to make an impact in attack. Despite solid current form and consistent results on the road, Cruzeiro rarely score freely in Curitiba.
The hosts have a strong record against this opponent at home: Coritiba have won 7 of their last 8 home matches against Cruzeiro. On top of that, the visitors have failed to score in four of their previous trips to Curitiba. Another reason to expect a cautious match - Cruzeiro have both scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 league rounds, yet rarely put up big numbers away from home.
The main prediction here is Cruzeiro total goals under 1.5. The Belo Horizonte club have scored under 1.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 away meetings at Estadio Couto Pereira. Predicted score - 1:1.
