Corinthians Preview – Can Corinthians click into gear?
It’s not been the kind of start that Corinthians would have had in mind before this new Serie A season kicked off, but the hosts have made a slow start to this campaign with just one point gained from their opening two matches, following a 3-2 loss away from home at Atletico Mineiro, they picked up their point in a 0-0 draw on the road at Gremio.
Following their Serie A title win back in 2017, Corinthians have experienced something of a slump in fortunes in subsequent seasons in the Brazilian top flight and they only just secured a place in the top eight and a Libertadores qualifying spot at the end of last season as they edged out Fortaleza for 8th spot.
With just three wins from their last 18 matches overall in Serie A, Corinthians will do well to replicate even last season’s efforts, but their form at home continues to be fairly solid as the hosts have lost just two out of their previous 23 matches; they’ve also beaten Coritiba in each of their last three meetings at their Arena Corinthians.
Coritiba Preview – Can Coritiba cope with step up?
Wednesday’s visitors, Coritiba, achieved automatic promotion from Serie B at the end of last season but they too have struggled in the early stages of this new Serie A campaign as they’ve yet to worry the scorers with zero points to their name to date.
Coritiba have lost all three of their matches so far this term with defeats incurred against Internacional, Bahia and Flamengo, all by 1-0 margins but which have left the visitors bottom of the early Serie A table.
The visitors last appeared in the Brazilian top flight three years ago but that campaign ended in relegation thanks to three defeats on the trot, which means that Coritiba head into this bottom half clash against Corinthians having lost their last six matches on the trot.
