Coritiba will host Cuiaba at the Estadio Couto Pereira on Monday in the 20th matchday of the Brasileiro Serie A.

The hosts are struggling for results at the moment and currently sit dangerously close to the drop zone. They were beaten 3-1 by second-placed Corinthians in their last game, a fair reflection of their performance on a day where they struggled to create any noteworthy chances.

The hosts have picked up just 19 points from 18 games this season and sit 16th in the league table. They can leapfrog their midweek opposition with maximum points on Monday and will be looking to do just that.

Cuiaba were beaten 1-0 by Palmeiras last weekend after a positive start to the month which saw them win back-to-back games. They picked up a hard-fought point against defending champions Atletico Mineiro in their last game and but looked set to fall to consecutive league defeats after falling behind late in the game. However, substitute Gabriel Pirani leveled the scores at 1-1 with the last kick of the game.

The Dourado sit a place and a point above their midweek hosts in the league table. They are just two points above the drop zone and will be looking to widen that gap when they play on Monday.
