Coritiba vs America MG Prediction

Coritiba Form

Coritiba lost twice in their last three matches, as they were defeated 0-1 by Internacional and 5-1 against Gremio. They turned the table by winning 1-2 against Goias. Coritiba are without a win in their last six Serie A matches on home soil, which produced a record of three draws and three defeats, in which they conceded eight and scored three goals.

Coritiba were expected to struggle in the Serie A this season, and sadly for them, they remain on course for the drop.

America MG Form

A single point prevents America MG from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 3-1 and 1-2 against Gremio and Internacional, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 2-2 draw against Atletico MG. America MG came through their last six away games in the Serie A without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew two and lost four in which, they were outscored by 15 goals to seven.

They were expected to be in for a season at the lower part of the table. Even that looks way off the mark following a terrible run for America MG.

They usually throw caution to the wind, when clashing with each other, and with both Coritiba and America MG scoring freely over the past weeks, we expect a highly entertaining match.

Coritiba won four points from their last three encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won one, scored four and let in five goals. America MG claimed one wins from two goals scored and zero conceded from their past one matches against teams placed in the bottom six. This handed them three points to their account. Coritiba have a record of one win, four draws and eight defeats in the Serie A this season. America MG show off two wins, three draws and eight defeats in the Serie A.
