Coritiba welcome Chapecoense to Estádio Couto Pereira in a Série A clash that pits a mid-table side with realistic European ambitions against the division’s bottom team. With Chapecoense sitting on just 10 points from 20 games and a goal difference of -22, Fernando Seabra’s side are heavy favourites on home soil. The interesting wrinkle: these two teams met earlier this season and shared a 3-3 draw, meaning Chapecoense have shown they can score against Coritiba even when the form book says otherwise.
Two players to watch: Coritiba midfielder Josué has been the engine of their build-up play, accumulating 214 passes across three recent matches with one assist, and his ability to dictate tempo will be key against a Chapecoense side that concedes frequently. For the visitors, veteran winger Yannick Bolasie leads Chapecoense in shot attempts over the last five games with seven, and his directness on the flanks is the most likely source of any away threat.
Hot stat: Chapecoense have registered 57 interceptions across their last five matches, more than double Coritiba’s 29. Despite that defensive activity, they have still conceded 10 goals in that same span, pointing to a team that wins the ball back but cannot hold a clean sheet.

Coritiba vs Chapecoense Prediction
Coritiba are the clear pick here. They sit 11th in the table with 27 points, their home record is solid, and they face a Chapecoense side that has won just once all season and has gone winless across their last five matches. The bookmakers agree, pricing Coritiba at around 57% probability of winning.
The best value market is Coritiba to win and over 1.5 goals. Chapecoense have conceded 41 goals in 20 league games, and even in their recent goalless draw with Cruzeiro, they struggled to create meaningful chances. Coritiba’s attack has been muted lately, scoring only once in their last three matches, but the quality gap here is large enough to expect the hosts to find the net at least once, with Chapecoense likely contributing to the goal tally given their defensive record.
Coritiba average 8.2 passes per free kick earned in recent matches, showing a structured, patient build-up style. Their foul count is low at 26 across five games, meaning they tend to keep shape rather than press recklessly. Chapecoense, by contrast, commit 62 fouls across five matches, the highest in this sample, and carry one red card in that period. Their indiscipline in the middle of the park hands Coritiba set-piece opportunities and disrupts their own attacking rhythm. Chapecoense’s pass accuracy of 82% (1318 accurate from 1600) is decent but their final-third execution has been poor all season.

Team Analysis
Coritiba have had a difficult last 30 days, picking up zero wins from three matches, with two defeats and one draw. Their most recent game ended in a 0-1 home loss to Cruzeiro, continuing a pattern of struggling to convert territorial advantage into goals. Before that, they drew 0-0 with Bragantino and fell 1-3 to leaders Palmeiras. The positive note from the Palmeiras game was that they did get on the scoresheet against the league’s best defence, showing some attacking capability. Going back further, a 3-2 win over Bahia demonstrated that Coritiba can be effective when the game opens up. Coach Fernando Seabra will need to unlock a more consistent attacking output, but this fixture against the division’s weakest side is the right occasion to do so.
Chapecoense have been in equally poor form, going winless across their last five matches with three losses and two draws. Their most recent outing was a 0-2 defeat to Cruzeiro, following a 0-0 draw against the same opponent just days earlier. Prior to that, a 2-2 draw against Santos showed some attacking spark, with Marcio Antonio de Sousa Junior getting on the scoresheet. The 0-4 home loss to Flamengo and the 0-2 defeat to Bahia frame a side that is conceding heavily against quality opposition. Rafael Lacerda’s team is rooted to the bottom of the table and their underlying numbers, particularly the foul count and red card tally, suggest structural defensive issues that will be difficult to resolve in one match.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Coritiba the Favourite
- Moneyline Coritiba 1.66 | Chapecoense 5.40
- Draw 3.90
- Over/Under Over 2.5 – check your bookmaker | Under 2.5 – check your bookmaker
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes – check your bookmaker | No – check your bookmaker
The moneyline odds of around 1.66 for Coritiba reflect the 57% win probability implied by the market, which feels fair given the league table and recent head-to-head record. Chapecoense at 5.40 carries significant risk given their season-long fragility. The draw at 3.90 is worth noting only in the context of the earlier 3-3 result this season, but Chapecoense’s current form makes a repeat unlikely. We see the best value in backing Coritiba on the moneyline at these prices, with the BTTS angle adding a layer of interest given Chapecoense’s tendency to score sporadically even in defeats.
Possible Starting Lineups
Coritiba Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Pedro Rangel
- DF: Tinga, Rodrigo Moledo, Jacy, Bruno Melo
- MF: Josué, Sebastián Gómez, Vini Paulista
- FW: Lucas Ronier, Breno Lopes, Pedro Rocha
Coritiba have been operating in a 4-2-3-1 shape and this lineup reflects the players with the most appearances across recent matches. Pedro Rangel takes the gloves after featuring in three of the last five games. The defensive line is anchored by Jacy and Tinga, both of whom have been consistent starters. Josué is the key man in midfield, his passing volume and assist contribution make him the most important non-attacking player in this squad. Up front, Lucas Ronier’s six shot attempts across three games make him the most active forward option, with Breno Lopes providing width and work rate on the left.
Chapecoense Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Matheus Aurelio
- DF: Rafael Thyere, Bruno Pacheco, Eduardo Vinicius Domachowski, Everton Souza da Cruz
- MF: Camilo Reijers de Oliveira, Bruno Matias, Giovanni Augusto, David Antunes da Silva
- FW: Marcio Antonio de Sousa Junior, Yannick Bolasie
Chapecoense also line up in a 4-2-3-1. Matheus Aurelio has made 12 saves across five matches and is the first-choice keeper. Rafael Thyere and Bruno Pacheco are the most experienced centre-back pairing in the data. In midfield, Camilo Reijers de Oliveira leads the squad with 14 interceptions across five games and 434 minutes played, though he carries two yellow cards. Giovanni Augusto provides creativity with six shot attempts and one assist. Yannick Bolasie is the danger man in attack, and Marcio Antonio de Sousa Junior is the only outfield player in this squad with a goal in the sample period.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a Coritiba win, with both teams finding the net. The hosts are the more organised side, rank significantly higher in the world club rankings, and carry a home advantage at Couto Pereira. Chapecoense’s disciplinary record, 62 fouls and one red card in five games, will likely gift Coritiba set-piece opportunities, and Josué in particular is well-placed to exploit those moments.
Chapecoense have shown they can score even in losing efforts, as the 2-2 draw with Santos and the 3-3 result against Coritiba earlier this season confirm. We back Coritiba to win 2-1, with the BTTS market offering solid value alongside the home win. The over 2.5 goals line also looks attractive given both teams’ tendency to be involved in matches with multiple goals this season.
