Paysandu PA vs Coritiba: Bet of the day
Serie B Showdown: Paysandu PA vs Coritiba
Football fans, get ready for a dramatic night in Brazil’s Serie B as Paysandu PA welcomes Coritiba. On November 9, 2025, at 23:30 UTC, the Mangueirão will be buzzing with tension. Paysandu, fighting for their Serie B survival, face the league leaders Coritiba, who are on the verge of a triumphant return to the top flight. The odds are stacked against the home side, but if there’s one thing Brazilian football teaches us, it’s to expect the unexpected.
League Context: Stakes Sky High
This isn’t just another fixture. Coritiba sits atop the table, eyes firmly set on promotion, boasting 61 points from 35 matches. Their campaign has been solid: 17 wins, 10 draws, and just 8 losses. The odds for an away win reflect their dominance at 1.57.
Paysandu, on the other hand, are in the thick of a relegation scrap. With just 27 points and rooted to the bottom, every point is vital. The odds for a Paysandu victory are a massive 6.15, underscoring their underdog status. But, as recent history shows, miracles do happen—Paysandu stunned Criciuma 4-2 away not long ago, defying odds of 6.6.
Team Form and Key Stats
Coritiba’s recent form is impressive: four wins in their last ten, conceding just 0.5 goals per match and scoring 0.7. Their defense is a fortress, with only one of their last ten games seeing over 2.5 goals. They average 54% possession and 14 shots per game—numbers that reflect a disciplined, possession-based approach.
Paysandu’s fortunes are bleaker: just one win in their last ten, conceding 1.5 goals per match and scoring 1.1. Five of those matches saw over 2.5 goals, but they’ve struggled to turn shots (14.3 per game) and decent possession (49.5%) into results.
When these teams last met, Paysandu edged Coritiba 2-1 away—a result that will give the home fans hope for another upset.
Tactical Analysis and Expected Lineups
Paysandu, under Luizinho Lopes, have experimented with flexible formations, including a bold 3-2-2-1-2. This adaptability will be crucial as they seek to contain Coritiba’s attacking threats while looking for opportunities on the break.
Coritiba, led by Mozart, are expected to stick to their disciplined style. Their attack, spearheaded by Alves Dellatorre (9 goals), Josue, and Vieira Pires (7 each), will test Paysandu’s resolve. However, Coritiba’s squad is stretched thin, with several players suspended or at risk due to yellow card accumulation, and key man Rodrigo Rodrigues sidelined by injury.
Head-to-Head and Historical Trends
Coritiba has historically had the upper hand in this fixture, but Paysandu’s recent 2-1 away win shows they’re capable of springing surprises. In Serie B, home teams win 39.8% of matches, draws occur 39.3% of the time, and away wins just 20.9%—statistically, the underdog always has a puncher’s chance.
NerdyTips’ Betting Insights
Our platform, NerdyTips, has crunched the numbers and sees this as a low-scoring affair. Here’s how our top tips stack up:
Best Tip: Under 2.5 Goals (Odds: 1.64)
With Coritiba’s defensive solidity and Paysandu’s struggle for goals, our best tip is under 2.5 goals. Confidence isn’t sky-high (2.5/10), but the stats back a tight match. Only 32% of Serie B games see more than 2.5 goals, and Coritiba’s last ten games have mostly stayed under this mark.
1×2 Prediction: Paysandu PA to Win (Odds: 6.15)
It’s a bold call, but the data hints at a potential upset. Paysandu are desperate, and Coritiba’s absences could tip the balance. Our trust level is low (2.1/10), but if you’re hunting value, this is a tempting punt.

NerdyTips predicts a nervy 1-0 win for the home side, with Paysandu snatching a goal against the run of play and holding on for dear life.
