Vasco da Gama and Coritiba meet in Serie A, with the hosts still fighting to escape the bottom zone from 17th place, while the visitors sit 8th and are picking up points steadily. This game is therefore one where both sides need points for different reasons. Vasco da Gama have just won two in a row in all competitions, and in the league they are unbeaten in 3. Their attack is starting to come back, but overall this season they have scored fewer than they have conceded (29 to 41). Coritiba, meanwhile, have lost only once in their last five, and although they have lost 9 league games, they have scored more than they have conceded (37 to 38). The visitors have not come just to sit back. If the hosts get the opening goal from an attack that has just returned, the game is likely to open up into more of an exchange than expected, because Coritiba have an attack that can hit back immediately. But Vasco da Gama's first halves at home often start slowly and mostly end level at the break, unlike the second half, which should have more goals.
