Fixed-point theory has an extension to coincidences. For a pair of maps $f,g:X_1 \to X_2$, a coincidence of f and g is a point $x \in X_1$ such that $f(x) = g(x)$, and $Coin(f,g) = {x \in X_1 $\mid$ f(x) = g(x)}$ is the coincidence set of f and g. The Nielsen coincidence number N(f,g) and the Lefschetz coincidence number L(f,g) are used to estimate the cardinality of Coin(f,g). The aspherical manifolds whose fundamental group has a normal solvable subgroup of finite index is called infrasolvmanifolds. We show that if $M_1,M_2$ are compact connected orientable infrasolvmanifolds, then $N(f,g) \geq $\mid$L(f,g)$\mid$$ for every $f,g : M_1 \to M_2$.
