Coritiba vs Palmeiras Predictions

• Both teams have not scored in three of Coritiba’s five home league games this season.
• Both teams have not scored in Palmeiras’ last three away Serie A matches.
• Palmeiras have conceded one goal in their last seven games in all competitions.

Verdão to get the verdict in low-scoring clash

Coritiba are defensively sound enough to put up the shutters and play for a point when they host league leaders Palmeiras on Sunday. Glorioso have kept three home clean sheets already this season as nine of the 12 goals they have shopped to date have come when they have been on the road.

Their backline will certainly be tested by the reigning Copa Libertadores champions on Sunday as Verdão seek to make it six away wins on the bounce in all competitions. That’s why the visitors are priced up as short as 17/20 for the three points that would ensure they remain top of the pile.

Coritiba are undefeated at home since November – a run of 14 games – and will not lack confidence themselves for this fixture. Gustavo Morinigo’s men held off Sao Paulo for a 1-1 home draw on Thursday that keeps them within the top five and in the hunt for a Libertadores berth.

Both teams unlikely to notch in Paraná

But Palmeiras are a cut above their city rivals at the moment and may prevail by the slimmest of margins. Goals do look likely to be scarce, however, and that makes both teams not to score just as appealing as the visitors to win on this occasion at around 4/5.

With only one goal conceded in their last seven in all competitions, Palmeiras are in position to hold up their end of the bargain at the very least. A 1-0 victory looks to have plenty going for it as far as a correct score bet goes with Verdão appearing less potent on the road than at home, having registered just the five times in four away days to date this year.
