Coritiba is one of the strongest teams in Serie B and leading candidate for promotion at the beginning of the championship. One of the reasons was unable to confirm the favoritism at the beginning of the championship was because the team was not playing at their stadium. The club received a a penalty resulting from a brawl of the fans in the final game of last season, when it was relegated from serie A . The team is strong, the coach is competent and the stadium will be full.
Need the win
America RN is in desperate situation in the fight against relegation. The team has not played well since the beginning of the league, and always attended the last places in the table. The board did the math and thinks to escape relegation, the team needs to win 20 points of 32 wich will dispute, an almost impossible task given the recent retrospective of the team. In the last game played on road, Sport Recife won the game by 3-0 easilly. The defense is slow and vulnerable. 3 missings: defender Cléber, midfielder Washington and attacker Fabio Neves.
The time is coming
Coritiba needs 12 points, according to the board, to confirm the promotion and no better game to be closer to that goal than against America-RN, a team desperate, needing points and wich has a bad defense. Coritiba played three games at home since their stadium was released, after the end of the punishment, and won all three, two of them for more than one goal difference. The difference between the two teams is big and the home team has very dangerous offensive weapons that will cause problems for the defense of the visiting team.
