We drop down a division in Brazil to take a look ahead to the Serie B clash between Sao Bento and Coritiba as the betting tips continue at the Centro de Integração Comunitário Walter Ribeiro.
Sao Bento Prediction – Can Sao Bento move closer to safety?
Second from bottom club, Sao Bento, were handed a 2-0 defeat away at Sport Recife last time out in the Brazilian second tier which has left them in the bottom four of Serie B prior to this important Tuesday night clash with Coritiba.
3 away matches in their last 5 matches overall in Serie B haven’t exacly been helpful to the hosts, but they’ll be in reasonable spirits for this upcoming fixture as they return to home turf and their Centro de Integração Comunitário Walter Ribeiro where the hosts have lost just 2 of their last 10 matches overall.
The defeats were to America Mineiro and Bragantino, but recent wins over Vitoria and Vila Nova will give Sao Bento belief that they can get something from this encounter, as they look to further improve a home record which stands at 5-4-5 14/16.
In the previous meeting at home, Sao Bento inflicted a heavy 5-2 defeat over tonight’s opponents, Coritiba, in last season’s fixture.
Coritiba Prediction – Can Coritiba hold onto top four spot?
Upon first glance, 4th placed Coritiba have it all going for them as the visitors head into this clash having won 3 of their last 4 matches overall in Serie B and currently occupy a top four spot in Serie B as they seek to claim one of the automatic promotion spots up to Serie A.
However, dig a little deeper and you’ll find that Coritiba’s 3 recent wins were all gained on home turf at their Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira with victories against America Mineiro, Guarani and Criciuma, as well as winning 10 of their 15 home matches to date in the Brazilian second tier.
Switch to results away from home and you’ll find that the visitors possess a pretty ordinary looking away record that stands at 2-5-5 10/13 which includes no wins from their last 4 away matches along with having lost their last 3 on the trot away from home.
Defeats at Ponte Preta, Londrina and Parana don’t exactly fill me with much confidence in terms of a straight away win here, and they could find the going tough again at Sao Bento tonight too.
Key-Facts – Sao Bento v Coritiba
- Sao Bento have won 2 of their last 3 matches at home in Serie B
- Coritiba have lost their last 3 away matches on the trot in Serie B
- Sao Bento won the last home meeting against Coritiba 5-2
Betting Tips Verdict
Sao Bento have been pretty steady at home recently and they should grab at least a point here.
