Coritiba host Botafogo RJ in Serie A, with both clubs carrying form concerns into a fixture that matters at both ends of the table.
Fernando Seabra's Coritiba come into this game in poor shape. Three defeats from their last five Serie A matches, including a 4-0 loss to Fluminense and a 5-0 hammering by Vasco da Gama, have left the home side under real pressure.
Botafogo, managed by Tite, are not in much better condition. Back-to-back defeats against Vasco da Gama and Mirassol have disrupted what looked like a more settled campaign earlier in the season.
The visitors did show they can produce when it matters, with a 3-2 win over Gremio standing as one of their better results in recent weeks. But consistency has been the problem, and they arrive here without having won their last Serie A outing.
For Coritiba, a home fixture offers a chance to stop the rot. Their only win in the last five came away at Remo, and they will need a sharper display to take anything from a Botafogo side that is still capable of hurting teams.
This is a fixture with consequences for both clubs as the season moves into its final stretch. Read on for all the information you need to watch this Serie A match live.

- Tite
Fernando Seabra takes charge of Coritiba for this fixture, though no confirmed injury or suspension information is currently available for the home side. Updates on their squad will be added as they are released ahead of kick-off.

Form
Coritiba have won one, drawn one, and lost three of their last five Serie A matches. Their most recent outing ended in a 4-0 defeat to Fluminense, and they also suffered a 5-0 loss to Vasco da Gama in that run. A 3-3 draw with Athletico Paranaense and a 2-3 away win at Remo show they are not without attacking output, but they have conceded heavily across this sequence.
Botafogo have recorded one win, two draws, and two defeats across their last five Serie A games. Their most recent match ended in a 1-2 loss to Vasco da Gama, and they also fell 2-0 to Mirassol. The 3-2 victory over Gremio remains their standout result in this period, with draws against Red Bull Bragantino and Palmeiras rounding out a run that points to a side lacking a consistent edge.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these two clubs ended 2-2 when Botafogo RJ hosted Coritiba in Serie A in April 2026. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures, Botafogo have claimed three wins to Coritiba's one, with one draw. The matches have produced 14 goals in total, including a 4-1 Botafogo victory in July 2023 and a 1-0 Coritiba win in May 2022.
