Coritiba take on the visitors Juventudein the round 16 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, July10th at Estádio Couto Pereira (Curitiba).
Coritiba only returned to Serie A at the end of last season. "Coxa Branca" is a rather modest club in terms of its capabilities. The only trophy is the championship, but it was taken back in 1985. And if we talk about recent years, then I had to play in Serie B more than once. Once again, they had to go through a relegation in 2020. But this time the club came back immediately, however, from 3rd place. And now they have to fight for survival again. A month ago, a serious decline began in the form of a series of defeats - not only to Palmeiras, but also to Red Bull Bragantino, Atletico Paranaense, Internacional. This streak was interrupted only by a victory over the main outsider of the season, Fortaleza.

Juventude are risking to fail repeating last season's success. The "Parrots" for 13 years in a row performed at the level of the 2nd division of the country. And only at the end of the 2020 championship it turned out to return to Serie A. It was not easy at this level, but somehow it turned out to scrape together 40 points, 2 more than Gremio - this was enough to finish the season on the “saving” 16th place in Brasileirao. So far, the results are even worse, and much more so. In the spring and early summer, it was still possible to somehow score points and even win some matches. But the last success was 1-0 with Fluminense, in the team's first fight in June. After that, 6 matches have already been held in Serie A. During this time, it turned out only once to catch a point, in the form of a goalless draw with Sao Paulo. Of course, this is not enough, and Juventude is increasingly fixed at the bottom of the table.
The last time the parties played was in 2018, moreover, in Serie B. Then Coritiba managed to be better side: a draw on the road and a minimal victory at home. Coritiba is going through a successful segment of the calendar. And it is simply obliged to take the maximum with the crisis Juventude. We bet on the victory of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Coritiba to win.
