Remo v Coritiba: survival bid meets Sudamericana push | OneFootball

Remo host Coritiba in the Brasileirão on Monday, 31 August 2026 at Estádio Estadual Jornalista Edgar Augusto Proença, with the hosts fighting to climb out of the relegation places and the visitors looking to consolidate their Copa Sudamericana berth.

Remo are 18th with 23 points and a goal difference of minus 11. Coritiba sit 8th on 34 points and won the reverse meeting 1-0 in March.

Leão Azul are winless in three league matches after draws with Atlético Mineiro and Internacional and defeat at Fluminense. Coxa have taken two wins and a draw from their last three league games, beating Corinthians and Chapecoense either side of a point at São Paulo.

Leão Azul list Edson and Mayk as injured. For Coxa-Branca, Tinga, Brian Ocampo, Pedro Rangel and Lucas Ronier are sidelined, while midfielder Thiago Santos is suspended for this round.

Coxa's season profile points to danger from wide areas: 234 open-play crosses at 25.21% accuracy, eight headed goals and 40% average possession. That delivery could test Leão Azul's defence, who have conceded 39 in 24 games, while the visitors' six clean sheets show they can manage tight margins.

A home win would move Leão Azul to 26 points and could pull them towards safety. Victory for Coxa would take them to 37 points and strengthen their hold on the Sudamericana places.
