Goiás vs Coritiba Prediction: Both teams need to win

It's an important game for both teams, as both are in relegation places. The home team occupies the 17th place in the championship while Coritiba is in the 20th and last place. Seven points separate both teams, so in case of victory for Goiás, Coritiba will be ten points behind their opponent and increasingly alone at the bottom of the table. For the Parananenses, each game begins to have the weight of a final. Goiás also needs three points to get out of the Z4, that uncomfortable zone where nobody wants to be. The balance is impressive in the history of confrontations between the two teams. Each team has won 14 times, and there have been 14 draws.

Goiás

The Esmeraldino got an important victory this week for the Copa Sudamericana. By beating Santa Fé, in Colombia, Goiás qualified for the knockout stage. No doubt this result will motivate the team for this round 13 match. If things are going well internationally, things are not so good on the domestic front. Goiás has a good opportunity to return to winning ways at the Serrinha, as Coritiba has shown for now to be the weakest team in the Brasileirão.

Expected opening lineup for Goiás

Tadeu; Maguinho, Lucas Halter, Bruno Melo, Sander; Zé Ricardo, Willian Oliveira, Guilherme Marques; Palacios, Matheus Peixoto, Matheusinho

Coritiba

Coach António Carlos was fired this week by the club's management. For him, It was a disgraceful spell at the club without any victory in the championship. The U20 coach will lead the team in this game. Until a new coach is assigned, Thiago Kosloski will be in charge of the team. The Coxa was humiliated in the last round by Grêmio by 5-1, in Porto Alegre. At this point, the clouds are dark for Coritiba. With only four points, the team also has the worst goal average in the league, with 9 goals scored, and 26 goals conceded.

Expected opening lineup for Coritiba

Gabriel Vasconcelos; Diogo Batista, Kuscevic, Thiago Dombroski, Jamerson; Andrey, Matheus Bianqui, Marcelino Moreno; Robson, Alef Manga, Zé Roberto

Expert Betting Tips

Coritiba is still without a victory in the Brasileirão. Can they win in Goiânia with an interim coach? Of course they can, anything is possible in soccer, but I will bet on the higher probability.
