Two struggling sides in Santos and Coritiba will meet in a Brazilian Serie A fixture on Saturday. Hosts Coritiba go into this game placed at the bottom of the standings while Santos are 12th. In the last two meetings between these sides, Coritiba lost. Their target here will be to end that run. Coritiba remains the only side without a win in the league after nine rounds. They’ve managed just three points so far. In all competitions this season, Coritiba have lost seven times. That includes their most recent game, a 3-1 defeat away to Palmeiras. They’ve done well in attack, scoring in five straight matches, but they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in that run. Three times in the last four matches, Coritiba have conceded more than a goal. They have scored more than once in just one of their last five matches.

Santos have a seven-game run without a win and will want to end it here. Their last two matches were both played away from home. The most recent ended 2-1 in favor of Newell’s Old Boys, at home in Copa Sudamericana. They have beaten Coritiba in the last two meetings, which will give them confidence coming into this game. Santos have had a much better season so far, compared to Coritiba. While they have no win in three straight league matches, Santos have lost just once in five. They have no clean sheet in the last two league games. Away from home, Santos have posted just one win in five; all the rest ended in defeat. They also have one clean sheet in the last five away matches.
