Coritiba vs Vitoria Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Depending on Internacional’s result on Sunday, Vitoria could potentially guarantee their safety with a victory here to avoid a tense final day battle to beat the drop. Coritiba meanwhile will be gunning for 3 points as they look to break into the Copa Sudamericana berths for next season, so there is still plenty at stake and both teams should be looking for the win.

Vitoria have had a tough first season in Serie A overall but they have really thrown caution to the wind in recent weeks and their more attacking approach has paid dividends with 7 points coming from their last 4 games to push them to the brink of safety. There have been 4 or more goals in all of those games in total and Vitoria scored 4 themselves as they hammered fellow strugglers Figueirense last weekend. Their matches this term average 2.78 goals per game which is one of the highest in the league so there is reason to expect goals in this one.

It will be a much tougher game than their last match though. Coritiba have only lost twice at home all season and come into this match unbeaten in 5 league games. It’s just one defeat in 15 at home now in Serie A so it’s very hard to see Vitoria getting the win that would take so much pressure of their final game. Coritiba score quite a lot of goals at home too with an average of 1.61, significantly higher than what they manage on the road.

They will be confident of picking up another win here but Vitoria look to have found real momentum at just the right time. They will surely continue with the attacking approach that has brought good results and high scoring games of late. Therefore, goals at both ends look likely and potentially quite a few, so backing over 2.5 goals at Evens looks like a good bet here.
