The 2025 season is the second consecutive for Coritiba in Serie B. However, after 27 points from the first 14 league rounds, there are optimism at Estadio Couto Pereira that Coritiba could return to the strongest Brazilian league. Coritiba are only two points behind the league leader, Goias. Mozart's team are in outstanding form, with seven games without defeat. Last weekend, Coritiba won 1-0 on the road against Athletico PR. Despite being underdogs, they delivered a disciplined performance and came away with all three points.
Volta Redonda came to Serie B this season. They are one of the teams that could have big problems with avoiding relegation. Rogerio Correa's team is in the drop zone with two points fewer than safety. Volta Redonda has been playing slightly better in the previous weeks, as they have lost only two of the last nine matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home against Operario PR. The home side ended the match with xG of 1.23, while the guests had only 0.55, so Volta Redonda's victory was well-deserved.
Coritiba vs Volta Redonda pick: Under 2.5 goals
Coritiba's main strength is its superior defense. They conceded only six goals in 14 Serie B matches. On the other hand, Volta Redonda are the worst attacking team in the competition, with seven goals so far. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie at Estadio Couto Pereira.
Coritiba team news
Coritiba's head coach, Mozart, was especially satisfied with the second half of the game against Athletico PR. He said, "In the second half, we improved in that sense. We started to play a more direct game, spaced their team out a bit more, brought the full-backs closer and managed to escape more times than we did in the first half. It was a balanced game, with few chances, as classics are."
Alex Silva and Rodrigo Moledo are injured and will not play against Volta Redonda.

Volta Redonda team news
Volta Redonda achieved their third victory of the season in the previous round, and the head coach, Rogerio Correa, was clear about how important that was. He said, "A very important victory against a very qualified team, one of the best we have faced in Série B. Operario made it very difficult for us to mark at the beginning of the match. We played well in the first half, missed an opportunity, but came back better in the second. We tried harder, we were more aggressive, both in marking and in the game, and we were rewarded with the goal."
Volta Redonda will be without Matheus Costa, Marquinhos, Lucas Adell, Fabricio, Du Fernandes, and Caio Roque on Friday at Estadio Couto Pereira. The good news for Volta Redonda is that Gabriel Pinheiro should return to the starting lineup after serving a suspension.
