Coritiba will host Santos at the Estadio Couto Pereira on Saturday in another round of the 2023 Brasileiro Serie A campaign.
The home side have endured an abysmal start to their league campaign and currently find themselves deep in the drop zone. They were beaten 3-1 by defending champions Palmeiras in their last league game and were already three goals down before Alef Manga came off the bench to score a late consolation strike.
Coritiba sit rock-bottom in the league standings with just three points from nine games and will be desperate to pick up their first league win of the season this Saturday.
Santos have had mixed results this season but have particularly struggled to pick up wins in recent weeks. They played out a 1-1 draw against Internacional in their last Brasileiro Serie A game before losing 2-1 to Newell's Old Boys in the Copa Sudamericana group stages on Wednesday.
The visitors sit 12th in the table with 12 points from nine games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
