Week 18 features a match on Thu Jul 21st, where Corinthians will host Coritiba in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Serie A teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Corinthians sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-3 loss against Ceará. Róger Guedes struck first for Corinthians in the 4th minute, but Bruno de Jesus Pacheco got the equalizer for Ceará in the 28th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 33rd minute on a goal by Goes Barbosa de Souza. Corinthians is looking for direction having 4 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while coritiba is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Flamengo. Vernes scored the first goal for Flamengo in the 13th minute, then Diego added another in the 22nd minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Coritiba couldn’t manage to score, and Flamengo took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Coritiba’s top weapon lately has been Léo Gamalho, who has two goals in the last 5 matches. Corinthians hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last five matches are Rodinei and Róger Guedes, and they each have 1 goal.
