Coritiba take on the visitors Ceara in the round 28 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, September 29th at Estádio Couto Pereira (Curitiba).
Coritiba returned to Brasileirao again at the end of last year. The "Glorious" quite often get relegated to the 2nd division of the country. Moreover, having risen to the elite in 2020, the team immediately returned back from 19th place. On the other hand, in Serie B it turned out to take the 3rd place. The final advantage over SSA Maceio, which remained only 5th, was limited to only 2 points. It is clear that such a team was considered as one of the underdogs of the "elite". But thanks to home victories over Avai and Atletico Goianiense at the junction of summer and autumn, it turned out to climb to the “saving” 16th place. But the advantage is minimal, and with Avai it is completely formal, according to additional indicators.

Ceara tries not to fail. The Black and Whites are only good at the level of their very modest football state. But at the national level, only the final of the Brazilian Cup can be noted, and then it was lost in 1994. Against this background, last year's 11th place can be regarded as a serious breakthrough - this is the best result at least in this century. But now everything is slipping back to the struggle for survival. And in order to save the "registration", in August they decided to make a rather risky bet - on Lucho Gonzalez, a legendary football player in the very recent past. But the Argentine has almost zero experience as a coach, and he did not work independently. However, he recently went on a 4-match unbeaten streak with his team, losing only to Sao Paulo 0-2.
Coritiba used to play successfully with Ceara. But then there was a pause from 2010 to 2020, and only after it did the “black and white” look better: 2 wins and a draw. Both clubs need to win. Coritiba has a trump card in the form of a venue, but Ceara has shown better form in recent matches. So let's settle on "both to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
