Corinthians return to Couto Pereira to face Coritiba, protecting long unbeaten run | OneFootball

Corinthians visit Coritiba at Couto Pereira on Sunday at 19:30 in the 24th round of the Brasileiro. As reported by Meu Timao, they return to face the hosts after three seasons.

The clubs last met at the ground on 6 December 2023, when Corinthians closed that league campaign with a 2-0 win. Fausto Vera and Romero scored in an empty stadium due to a sanction on the hosts after crowd trouble.

That was not Corinthians' most recent visit to the venue. In August 2024, Ramón Díaz's side drew 0-0 with Grêmio there and reached the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals on penalties.

Buoyed by Libertadores progression, the visitors defend a long unbeaten run at Coritiba's home. Their last defeat there was in 2011, a 1-0 loss in the league, followed by four wins and five draws against Coritiba.

Across 46 matches at Couto Pereira, 34 have been against Coritiba. Corinthians have 12 wins, 10 draws and 12 defeats at the venue, with goals level at 31-31, a 45.1% return.

Coritiba won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Neo Química Arena in round five. Fernando Diniz's side sit ninth on 32 points, with the Curitiba club one place back on 31.
