Coritiba take on the visitors Cuiaba in the round 27 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, October 19th at Estádio Couto Pereira (Curitiba).
Curitiba are rightfully considered a "football elevator." However, last season, they managed to accumulate enough points to secure the fifteenth spot, avoiding relegation. But in the new calendar year, discussions mainly revolved around who would finish in the last place. Furthermore, starting from the end of July, there were eight consecutive losses. However, when everyone had already written off this team, they suddenly defeated two Atlético teams in October, first at home against Paranaense and then away against Mineiro. This allowed them to surpass América Mineiro for now, but they still need to make up 7 points. So, they need to win now.

Cuiabá are defending their position, which are gradually becoming familiar. The "Golden Ones" were founded only in this century, in 2001. They gradually climbed to the level of Brasileirão, finally making their debut there a couple of years ago. There haven't been any significant successes, but the main thing is not to lose their place in the league. In the last cycle, they secured sixteenth place, just above the relegation zone. They have now crossed the 30-point barrier, although after a draw and five losses, they managed to beat Fluminense. However, they played to a goalless draw with Cruzeiro.
Last season, the sides exchanged home victories. This season, they played to a 1-1 draw at Cuiabá's home ground. Curitiba, playing at home, does have a slight advantage, but it's very modest. Nevertheless, it's clear that the match won't be particularly exciting. It's a good choice to bet on the total goals scored being under 2.5 in this match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
