Coritiba vs Avai tips and predictions

Coritiba looking hard to oppose

While cognizant of Coritiba's short price, it's anyone's guess what happens here. If you believe that this is a foregone conclusion it's worth diving in to the data. The emphasise is on the home win but this won't be for the feint-hearted. They are still the pick to come through.

The balance of power is with Coritiba. They are in much better form. The hosts have picked up 10 home wins from their last 17 games. On a less impressive run, the travelling side has suffered reverses in 7 of their recent 9 matches on the road. The stars are aligned for one more defeat here.

It's vital that the visiting defenders are locked in throughout the ninety minutes. Avai have conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 18 assignments. And at certain times the visitors have been disappointing. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 18 away matches.

You'll be aware of how this match has gone in the past. Coritiba have won 7 of the last 9 fixtures between the two teams. Going back to their previous meetings the head-to-head stats are reasons for confidence in them.

Coritiba are the clear favourites but things could get exciting if Avai can grab a consolation effort. It isn't the bet of the day but the Yes BTTS bet is the unconfident side bet. As far as the goal line is concerned, it's fewer than four goals standing out in this one given the latest prices.
