Positionally there is a clear hierarchy: Coritiba sit 8th, Internacional lie 18th, but the Serie A has a habit of defying such logic. The hosts have struggled for consistency, D in their last five pointing to a win rate of 37.04%. The visitors arrive short of confidence, WLLDD in their last five and a season win rate of just 22.22%. Where Coritiba have leaned on defensive discipline, Internacional have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. Arsenal also saw the importance of having good depth at right-back when Mosquera was forced to start the Champions League final with PSG out of position - which then resulted in the young Spaniard conceding a penalty.
How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Coritiba will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Internacional will back themselves to cause problems on the break.

Once that deal is completed, Coventry want to bring in a left-back and a right winger, while there is also a possibility they target a new striker.
Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Given the balance of the numbers, Coritiba should have enough to edge it — a 2-1 victory looks the most likely outcome. With positions in the Serie A table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank.
