Coritiba welcome Chapecoense to Couto Pereira for their Serie A round 22 encounter, with both teams looking to escape difficult runs of form. The hosts are 11th in the competition after seven wins, six draws and eight defeats, while the visitors sit 20th following one victory, seven draws and 12 losses. Coritiba have failed to win their last four league games, but Chapecoense face an even more serious challenge after going 19 consecutive Serie A matches without a victory. Their previous meeting produced a 3-3 draw on February 11, 2026, although the latest numbers indicate that this contest could have a different pattern.

Coritiba Recent Form and Key Statistics

Coritiba have collected 27 points from 21 league matches, but their recent results underline a loss of momentum. Their last five fixtures brought one win, one draw and three defeats, with averages of 0.8 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per game. The latest setback was a 1-0 home defeat against Cruzeiro on July 31. Coritiba have now lost their two most recent matches as hosts, although those defeats came against Cruzeiro and Palmeiras.
Across the Serie A season, Coritiba are averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per fixture. Their attacking output has recently declined, with the team finding the net only once across its last four games. Breno Lopes remains the hosts’ leading league scorer with eight goals, making his contribution particularly important while the team works to recover its efficiency in the final third.
The first-half statistics also deserve attention. At least one side failed to score before the interval in Coritiba’s last 20 home matches, while the same outcome occurred in 37 of their previous 40 fixtures overall. Coritiba have also been behind at half time in six of their last 10 games. These figures suggest that a patient start may be required, especially with the hosts trying to avoid another early setback.
Pedro Rangel is the only confirmed absentee for Coritiba and remains in the medical department. As a result, Pedro Morisco is expected to continue in goal. With relatively few confirmed absences, Fernando Seabra can retain much of the squad available to him for this important home assignment.

Chapecoense Recent Form and Key Statistics

Chapecoense arrive in a critical position. The visitors have earned 10 points from 20 Serie A matches and have recorded only one league victory all season. That success came in their opening match, meaning they have since completed 19 league games without winning. Their wider sequence is similarly concerning, with no victory in 22 of their last 23 matches.
Their last five outings ended in two draws and three defeats. During that period, Chapecoense averaged only 0.4 goals scored and 2.0 conceded per game. Their most recent result was a 2-0 loss to Cruzeiro on August 5. Over the entire league campaign, their averages stand at 1.0 goal scored and 2.1 conceded, highlighting the problems they have experienced at both ends of the pitch.
Away from home, the numbers offer little encouragement. Chapecoense have collected three points from 10 away league games and have conceded at least once in each of their last 15 matches on the road. They have also allowed a goal in 14 consecutive Serie A fixtures. Meanwhile, over 0.5 second-half goals were recorded in 18 of their previous 20 away games, indicating that their contests frequently open up after the break.
The visitors have not led at half time in their last 20 Serie A matches and failed to do so in 23 of their previous 24 fixtures across all competitions. They have been behind at the interval in each of their last three league games, including their last three away matches. Their selection options are also affected by injuries to João Paulo, Carvalheira, Robert Santos, Victor Caetano and Yannick Bolasie. The absence of Bolasie further reduces the attacking resources available to Rafael Lacerda. Max Alves was sent off in the Copa do Brasil, but that suspension does not apply to Serie A.

Coritiba vs Chapecoense Match Analysis

This fixture brings together two teams under pressure, although their situations are not identical. Coritiba have struggled since returning to action and must respond after consecutive home defeats. Even so, their overall league campaign remains considerably stronger than Chapecoense’s, and they have recorded seven wins compared with the visitors’ single victory.
Chapecoense must find a way to improve both their defensive resistance and attacking production. Their run of 19 league matches without a win, combined with an average of 2.1 goals conceded this season, leaves them with little margin for error. The repeated failure to take a half-time lead may also make it difficult for the visitors to control the direction of the contest.
Coritiba’s main concern is their recent lack of goals. Scoring once in four matches shows that league position alone will not guarantee a comfortable evening. Breno Lopes and the supporting
