Serie A
These teams last met in the 2023 season, when the match in Curitiba ended in a 1:1 draw, while the match in Rio de Janeiro finished in Vasco's favor 5:1. Looking further back, over the past 10 h2h games, each team has won three times.
Regarding the number of goals, three of the past four H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in six of them.
Coritiba team overview
Coritiba are one of the teams that have constantly moved between Serie A and B in recent seasons. Last year, they gained promotion by winning the Serie B and are only looking to survive this season. For now, they are doing a great job as they sit in 7th place with 13 points from eight rounds. The popular "Coxa" are a comfortable seven points away from the danger zone. However, we believe they had a fairly favorable schedule, and it will be interesting to see how well they will deal with a bit better teams.
The team's starting central defender, Maicon, received a straight red card in the previous match against Atlético PR and will be unavailable for the Vasco game. Also, due to injuries, the team will miss Rodrigo Rodrigues, Renato Marques, and their starting goalkeeper, Pedro Morisco.

Vasco team overview
Vasco managed to secure a return to Serie A in 2022 and were between 10th and 15th place in the following three seasons. The goal for the 4-time Brazilian champs is to finish in the upper half of the league's table and potentially force their way into a spot for the Copa Libertadores. While they had a pretty bad start to the season, they started playing a lot better lately and are deservedly in 9th place with 11 points from eight rounds. Still, we have to mention they had massive problems on the road and will have to start collecting more points there.
Andre Gomez collected his third yellow card in the previous game and will serve his one-game suspension. The 23-year-old winger started in all eight league games but hasn't been great, and his absence might be a good thing. However, Cuiabano and Thiago Mendes, who have been excellent this season, suffered injuries in the previous game and will most likely be out.

Prediction
Coritiba lost the last game 2:0 against Atlético PR, but were great before that, winning three in a row while keeping a clean sheet in each.
Vasco are in good form, as well, but most of their good performances came at home. On the road, "Camisas Negras" have been terrible, winning one point in three games. They have generally struggled on the road, winning once in 13 games (including the previous season).
While we expect a close match, considering Vasco's terrible road record, we believe Coritiba are slightly closer to winning the upcoming Serie A tie.
3 Reasons why Coritiba should (AH 0) win
- Coritiba won three of the past four games
- Coritiba kept a clean sheet in three of the past four matches
- Vasco won one point in three road Serie A games
