Coritiba take on the visitors Internacional in the round 11 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, June 23rd at Estádio Couto Pereira (Curitiba).
Coritiba are the worst team in the Brazilian Serie A after ten rounds. They are at the bottom of the table with only four points and have yet to secure a single victory. Additionally, Coritiba is currently without their head coach. Should we expect a turnaround from the hosts in the next round? I don't think so. In their last five matches, the team suffered three defeats against Atletico Paranaense (1-3), Atletico Mineiro (1-2), and Palmeiras (1-3), while drawing with Cuiaba (1-1) and Santos (0-0). They might manage to secure a draw against Internacional, but winning seems unlikely.

Internacional-RS, after two away defeats in the championship, regained their form and have gone unbeaten for three consecutive rounds, earning seven out of nine possible points. They managed a draw with Santos (1-1) but defeated Bahia (2-0) and Vasco da Gama (2-1). I believe the "Reds" are fully capable of defeating another team from the lower half of the table, especially considering the host's current struggles. It's worth mentioning that Internacional was the runner-up in the previous season. Although they are currently in 10th place in the table, they are only four points behind the top four.
I consider the visitors as favorites in this match. This is not only based on their strength but also on the terrible current condition of the hosts. I believe in Internacional's victory and I don't believe in their defeat at all. Therefore, I'm placing a handicap (0) bet on the visitors, covering for the possibility of a draw. The odds for the victory of the "Reds" are huge for one simple reason - they have yet to win away from home in the current season. However, sooner or later, an away victory will occur. And if they can't defeat the worst team in the league, then who can they defeat? The head-to-head statistics also fully support our prediction. In their five previous encounters, Coritiba has never been stronger than their opponent, with two draws and three defeats. I believe it will be difficult for the hosts to secure even a single point this time.
Prediction for the match: Internacional to win with 0.0 handicap.
