On the 19th of June, Coritiba and Athletico PR will play a match in Curitiba in a meeting of these two Serie A teams in the ever popular Curitiba derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, a perfect day for football. 9th placed Coritiba is fresh off their 2-4 loss against Bragantino. Hyoran scored the first goal for Bragantino in the 7th minute, then Artur added another in the 34th minute. Coritiba is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while athletico PR is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Fortaleza. Neither Fortaleza nor Athletico PR could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 23 and 8 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Athletico PR should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season.
David Terans has been the most effective weapon for Athletico PR lately. The midfielder has netted three goals in his last five matches. Both Adrián Martínez and Igor Paixão have been the hottest scorers for Coritiba in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each.
