Coritiba welcome Chapecoense-SC to their ground on Sunday at 20:00 UTC, with the hosts sitting 11th in the Serie A table on 27 points from 21 matches. Chapecoense-SC arrive in the bottom two, having played 20 matches and accumulated just 10 points. The gap between the two sides stands at 17 points.

Coritiba head into this match on the back of two consecutive defeats, losing 4-1 to Vitoria and 1-0 to Gremio in their most recent outings. They have taken 5 points from their last five matches, a run that also includes a 2-0 win over Atletico-MG and draws against Botafogo and Fluminense.

Chapecoense-SC's situation is considerably more difficult. They have lost four consecutive matches, conceding across defeats to RB Bragantino, Fluminense, Botafogo and Atletico Paranaense. Their only return from the last five matches is 1 point, earned in a 1-1 draw with Vitoria. Across their 20 Serie A matches this season, they have won just once, drawn seven and lost 12, with a goals record of 19 scored and 41 conceded.

The two clubs met earlier in 2026, with that fixture on 11 February ending 3-3, a result that stands as the only head-to-head data on the sheet.

Coritiba's record of 7 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats places them firmly in mid-table in the 20-team Serie A. Chapecoense-SC, with 1 win, 7 draws and 12 defeats, sit in 20th position. Both sides have played a different number of matches — 21 for Coritiba and 20 for Chapecoense-SC — making Sunday's fixture at Coritiba's ground one of consequence for both clubs' respective standings in the table.
