Remo vs Coritiba

Round 25 of the Brasileirão brings Remo and Coritiba together at the Mangueirão in Belém, with very different aims. Remo remain stuck in the relegation zone and need every point to climb clear, while Coritiba sit closer to mid-table and are chasing a push into the upper half of the table. Both sides arrive with mixed momentum. Remo, under coach Léo Condé, have turned things around after a rough start, with wins over Botafogo, São Paulo, Vitória and a 4-1 thrashing of Bahia in their last ten league games. Coritiba have been less steady, winning just once in five outings before a draw at São Paulo, and losing at home to both Cruzeiro and Palmeiras. Goalkeeper Marcelo Rangel has been Remo's standout, piling up saves, while Coritiba lean on top scorer Breno Lopes, who has eight goals this season. Recent head-to-head meetings lean slightly toward Coritiba, who won the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier this year. Our prediction: 1-1
