Coritiba take on the visitors Palmeiras at "Couto Pereira" in the round five of the Brazilian Serie A. The game will be played in Curitiba on Thursday, June 8th.
Coritiba won their recent back-to-back clashes in the Serie A against Vitoria 1:0 and Atletico-PR 1:0. As a result, after four matchdays Pachequinho's side occupies the fourth position in the standings with nine points earned and 6-2 goal difference. Alike to the most teams of the Latin America, Coritiba demonstrate powerful football in face of their fans: in 2017 they recorded nine victories, two draws and only one defeat in 12 encounters. The unbeaten home run of "Glorioso" consists of nine games and has been lasting since the 4th of March.

This season Palmeiras show great results in the Copa Libertadores qualifying to the tournament's Play Offs plus they promoted to the quarter-final of the Copa do Brasil, while in the Serie A the side can't demonstrate the champion's football. After four matchdays the defending champion occupies just the 12th place in the table with four points gained and 4-3 goal difference. In 2017 Cuca's team participated in 14 clashes on the road resulting in five triumphs, one draw and eight losses. Whereby the side’s away run of defeats counts for four encounters and has been lasting since the 4th of May.
Coritiba were broken by Palmeiras not a single time in the 21st century, though the opponents' met 12 times covering five draws and seven wins in favour of the hosts. Taking into consideration the rival's results in this season, I believe that the hosting side will pick up some points this time as well.
Prediction for the match: Coritiba to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
