Coritiba vs Cuiaba Prediction and Betting Tips
Coritiba will look to make it three wins on the spin for the first time since January when they host Cuiaba in round 27 of the Brasileiro Serie A on Wednesday (October 18).
Cotitiba picked up successive wins for the first time since July in their final outing before the international break, edging out Atletico Mineiro 2-1 at the Arena MRV. That followed a 2-0 home win over Athletico Paranaense on October 1, which snapped their eight-game losing streak
With 20 points from 26 games, Thiago Kosloski’s men are 19th in the standings, just two points above rock-bottom America Mineiro.
Meanwhile, Cuiaba were denied a second straight win in the Copa FMF, as they fell to a 3-0 loss against Nova Mutum on Sunday. Antonio Oliveira’s men now turn their attention to league, where they have won just one of their last eight games, losing five, since August.
With 33 points from 26 games, Cuiaba are 11th in the league table, one point above Internacional in the final Copa Sudamericana qualification spot.
