Coritiba Cruzeiro betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This bout puts in the field two teams that live very different realities within the Brazilian Championship. While Cruzeiro has been gaining positions and approaching the vice-leadership, Coritiba follows in a very delicate situation within the zone of relegation. The home team stands out only on set pieces, but fails at the time of completion and has difficulty in maintaining ball possession, while its defense fails in the coverage of the sides. 
Cruzeiro bets a lot on long distance kicks and individual plays, creating a good volume of opportunities, while its defense has shown strength in tackles and aerial balls. 
Thus, although Cruzeiro is going through a more favorable moment, we must have a very intense match, with Coritiba focused on the win, so it is a good option to bet on few goals.

Away from home, the team conquered almost half of the points played, having the sixth best campaign in that condition, and also showing a good defensive performance. 
For this game, the coach should not have major absences, but eight players will be out of the classic against Atlético Mineiro if they receive another yellow card.
