CSA take on the visitors Coritiba at “Estadio Rei Pele” in the matchday 13 of the Brazilian Serie B. The game will be played in Maceio on Saturday, June 30th.
CSA have shown brilliant performance at the start of the season which allowed the Serie B debutant to settle on the second place in the standings. However, afterwards the side slowed down, having earned three draws and single 1:2 defeat from Guarani in four recent battles. As a result, the club had lost nine points and dropped down to the fifth position in the standings with 21 points collected. Marcelo Cabo argues that the opponents have adjusted to the team’s game and it is partially true, but to the great measure it is a simple crisis which is common for the league new-comers, for instance, having taking the lead at the start of the previous season, after all Guarani and Juventude had to fight for saving their place in the Serie.

Meanwhile, Coritiba currently occupy the sixth position in the Serie B table, being just two points behind the upcoming rival. It should be noted that “Coxa” had rather complicated schedule recently resulted in 0:2 failure against Avai as well as two draws against Juventude and Figueirense with the same 1:1 scoreline. Coritiba have enough strong squad, thus, it is quite difficult to explain why Eduardo Baptista‘s side has not gained a single victory on the road so far. If “Coxa” manages to pick up three points in the forthcoming tackle, it may drift up to the third place in the standings, consequently, Coritiba will be totally focus on a successful performance in Maceio.
Coritiba score on average less than a goal per clash and if they manage to break the hosts’ defense, still, “Coxa” is not likely to increase its effectiveness in attack significantly. However,, I believe that Coritiba will not fail in Alagoas either.
Prediction for the match: Coritiba to win with 0.0 Asian handicap and under 3.5 scored goals.
