Coritiba take on the visitors Athletico Paranaense in the round 25 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, October 1st at Estádio Couto Pereira (Curitiba).
Coritiba continues to stay true to itself and keeps losing, just as it has been for quite some time now. The upcoming match is unlikely to be anything special for the hosts, as a strong opponent is visiting them, highly motivated, as Athletico is currently fighting for a top spot. Coritiba is already on an eight-match losing streak. It's worth noting that the team manages to score in every match and rarely loses by a margin of more than two goals. However, this doesn't help much as they still find themselves at the bottom of the table with only theoretical chances of salvation. Athletico are looking solid at the moment, and they will undoubtedly come into this match only for the three points, and no other outcome will satisfy them.

Athletico are currently in sixth place, but the competition in this part of the table is very tight, so literally one victory can push them up two or three positions. Of course, Athletico are the favorite in this match, although the bookmakers seem to think differently, offering odds of more than 2 for them. This is quite a peculiar decision. Despite Coritiba's ability to avoid heavy losses from match to match, they still lose and are trailing the safety positions by a whopping 12 points. Therefore, a contender for a top spot should take all three points from such an opponent. In the previous head-to-head match this season, Athletico won 3-2. Currently, the representative of Paranaense are on a two-game winning streak, and overall, the team hasn't lost in eight matches. So, there is every chance for the guests to extend their successful streak.
The odds on the guests are certainly intriguing, but Coritiba have been consistently losing, and there's probably no reason to expect a different outcome this time. So, without hedging for a draw, my bet for this match would be in favor of the guests. I don't think the victory will be very comfortable, but with a score like 2-1, Athletico should prove their class. My bet for this match: Athletico to win.
Prediction for the match: Athletico Paranaense to win.
