Ahead of the 10th round of matches in the league, Coritiba are still searching for their first win of the season. In total, they’ve played 10 matches this season and avoided defeat in just three.

While Coritiba have scored in each of their last seven matches, they have no clean sheet in that period. They actually have no clean sheet in their last 10 matches, six of them ending in over 2.5 goals.

Santos have had a much better season, but they are also coming from a run of matches without a win. The last time they won a game was in May, 1-0 away to Vasco da Gama. That was the second of back-to-back wins. Heading into this game, they have no win in seven, four of them having produced draws. Santos have lost three of their last five matches, and haven't kept a clean sheet in the last five games. They’ve however failed to score in just one of their last five matches.

It was the third time in five matches that they conceded more than one goal. Away from home, they have just one win in the last seven matches.

These two sides aren’t doing well across all competitions. Their woes have been highlighted by defensive frailty though they have been consistent in attack. We don’t expect much to change here. Our prediction for the Coritiba v Santos game is for a draw.
