Santos will look to snap their five-game winless run away from home when they visit the Couto Pereira Stadium to take on Coritiba on Monday.

Coritiba, who are unbeaten in their last three games on home turf, will look to keep their juggernaut rolling and edge closer to the Copa Sudamericana qualification places.

They're sent crashing down to earth on Saturday, falling to a 1-0 loss away to Goias.

That followed a slender 1-0 victory over Cuiaba on July 26, which saw their three-game winless run come to an end. With 22 points from 20 games, Coritiba are 15th in the Brazilian Serie A standings, two points off Botafogo in the final Copa Sudamericana qualification spot.

Meanwhile, Santos failed to arrest their slump in form, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Fluminense last time out.

They are now unbeaten in three straight games, picking up seven points from a possible nine since a 1-0 loss to Avai on July 16. With 27 points from 20 games, Santos are ninth in the league table, six points adrift of Internacional in the final Copa Libertadores qualification spot.
