Why Bet on Coritiba?
Coritiba is struggling in the current Brasileirão season, as victories have eluded them and defeats have been repetitive, accumulating eight so far.
Their last match ended 0-0 in their visit to Cruzeiro, so it is possible to speak of a small comeback, as they have accumulated three matches without losing, taking seven out of nine points. In that period they have conceded only two goals and scored five, beating relegation rivals Goiás and América Mineiro. On a broader level, however, Coxa is the second-worst defense in the league, conceding 28 goals.
Thiago Kosloski’s side has signed four players to help them climb out of the basement: midfielder Fransérgio and forwards Edu, Mauricio Garcez, and Diogo Oliveira, and they are also on the lookout for midfielder Sebastián Gómez from Atlético Nacional of Colombia.
Why Bet on Fluminense?
Fluminense is confirming that the good 2022 was not by chance and this season it is once again at the top of the table, being fifth with 25 points.
In its last match, it drew 0-0 in the Rio de Janeiro classic with Flamengo, so it has a record of seven wins, four draws, and four losses. However, it is important to highlight that they have only lost one of their last seven matches, drawing four and winning three. They have not conceded a goal in their last two matches.
Flu, coached by Fernando Diniz, has the most important loss in youth midfielder Alexsander, who started the season as a starter, but he has not seen action due to injury since May, leaving his place to Lima.
Final Betting Analysis: Coritiba vs. Fluminense
Although they are not a good visitor, taking seven points from 21, Fluminense are clear favorites to win at home to Coritiba, who have won only one of seven matches at the Estadio Couto Pereira. It’s a good game for Germán Cano to break out of his intermittent scoring streak, with four goals in 15 league matches.
The numbers at MyBookie.ag have Fluminense as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows +120, meanwhile Coritiba has +220 and the draw is +240.
The last duel between these two clubs ended with Flu beating Coritiba 5-2, but on the most recent occasion that they played at the home of Coxa, the victory was for the local 3-2.
One fact to bear in mind is that the Rio de Janeiro team has only scored more than two goals on two occasions in its last six matches, which speaks of the lack of offensive power this season. We expect a 3-2 triumph for Fluminense.
Go for a straight win for Fluminense in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at +120, you will gain $120 for a total payout of $220.
