Friday’s game at the Estádio da Ressacada sees two teams struggling to keep their heads above water in Brazil’s Serie A meet in what should be a pulsating affair. Our Avaí vs Coritiba preview comes at a time when the sides have had contrasting fortunes in recent weeks. While the hosts have started to generate some momentum, the visitors are on a steep downward trajectory.

Match Preview

Our OddsDigger Avaí vs Coritiba betting tips are heavily influenced by the home side’s recent upturn in fortunes – manager Claudinei Oliveira has seen his team recover from a five-game winless run and now the relegation candidates are unbeaten in three and have kept three clean sheets in succession.

• Av. 0-3 Fluminense
• Botafogo 0-2 Av.
• Av. 0-0 Ponte Preta
• Gremio 0-2 Av.

Tuesday’s resounding 0-3 defeat at home to Sport Recife meant it was seven games without a win for La Glorioso. That run is bad enough, but it is further compounded by the fact that head coach Pachequinho’s players failed to score in five of those seven outings, a statistic that has a large bearing on our Avaí vs Coritiba predictions below.

• Gremio 2-0 Corit.
• Cruzeiro 2-0 Corit.
• Corit. 2-2 Vasco da Gama
• Corit. 0-3 Sport Recife

Avaí vs Coritiba Prediction and Betting Advice

I’ll start my Avaí vs Coritiba picks with an outright prediction – I think the home side will edge Friday’s battle. Coritiba can’t find a win from anywhere at the moment and they travel to Santa Catarina to face a side high on confidence after an impressive away win in Gremio.

An interesting piece of data worth looking at is the respective teams’ defensive records – despite their low rankings in Serie A, each defence has only conceded thirteen goals in twelve matches. That tells me Friday’s fixture is likely to be a low-scoring one, making betting in the bookmakers over/under goal market a savvy choice.
