Atlético Mineiro Athletico Paranaense betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 15^th position of the league, with 42 points won, after 11 wins, 9 draws and 17 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Fluminense, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Bragantino, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 17 points in away matches and 25 points at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 21 goals conceded at home, against 16 goals scored and 24 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Paranaense has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (8 out of 18 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 12 of the last 18 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 37 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 20 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 18 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 10 of their 24 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Athletico-PR also see the game as a final, with the aim of staying in Serie A and securing a place in the South American Cup. Despite playing away from home, the team is motivated to get a good result against a rival in crisis. The team from Paraná must play intelligently, exploiting Atlético-MG's flaws and taking advantage of any space left in defense. Caution will be important, but Athletico-PR can't afford to wait and must attack if they are to confirm their pretensions in the competition.

Confirmed Lineup: Mycael Pontes Moreira, Thiago Heleno, Leonardo Godoy, Lucas Belezi Barbosa, Lucas Ángel Esquivel, Erick, Antonio Costa, Fernandinho, Tomas Cuello, Agustín Canobbio, Pablo Felipe.
Coach: L. Scolari.
