Serie A is back in action, and this fixture offers something to look forward to in different ways for each side. Coritiba sit 12th with 39 points from 31 matches, while Grêmio are 18th with 31 points from 31 matches. Both have just come through uncomfortable defeats and need points from this game to steady their situations. Coritiba lost 1-0 to Atlético Mineiro in Serie A on 17 Oct. Their attack looked blunt and their finishing lacked sharpness, while Grêmio lost 2-4 at home to Cruzeiro in Serie A on 18 Oct. Their defence clearly has problems, but they still scored in a game where they conceded several. The two teams therefore do not come into this in vastly different shape; each has its own area to fix. If Grêmio score first, the game should open up, because Coritiba will have to push forward to trade blows and chase the game, and the space in the middle will grow accordingly, which is the situation Grêmio are good at exploiting on the counter. But if Coritiba take the lead first, the game could turn into one where the hosts sit deep and wait for counter-attacking chances against a Grêmio side that has to attack throughout.
