Curitiba vs Corinthians: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Curitiba club spent the past couple of years in Serie B. However, in 2025 they managed to take first place there. Upon returning to the top division, they have shown decent results, staying among the mid-table sides. Still, since May, there have been many defeats, and they were knocked out of the cup after losing to Santos. Even after their league win against Chapecoense, they only managed a draw with São Paulo.
The team from São Paulo finished only thirteenth in 2025 but managed to win the cup. Recently, they exchanged wins with Internacional, but scored one goal less overall and were eliminated. Last year's trophy allowed them to play in the Copa Libertadores, where the Brazilian side reached the playoffs. Against Rosario Central, they managed to score just one goal over two matches and advanced to the next round. At the same time, they've improved in Serie A. However, they lost at home to Cruzeiro 1-2.
The newly promoted Brasileirão side averages 1.22 goals scored and slightly more conceded, at 1.3 per game. The 2024 cup holders currently have 1.09 goals scored per match and 0.96 conceded.
