Athletico Paranaese vs Ceara Predictions

• All of the previous five head-to-heads have seen fewer than three goals.
• The visitors are unbeaten in their last four matches.
• The hosts have had some excellent results, against Flamengo and Bragantino in particular.

Last chance saloon for Athletico Paranaense

There are just eight games to go in the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A campaign and Athletico Paranaense take to the field knowing that victory would put them above the visitors in the table. They will be eager to pick up points, they narrowly missed out on a qualifying spot for the Copa Libertadores by a single point last year but if they want to have a shot at it this time around, they’ll need to start picking up crucial points – they currently trail Corinthians (in sixth) by nine points.

It’s no surprise that four of the visitors last five matches have seen fewer than three goals. Their stalwart defence is the foundation of their performances and they’ll be wanting to keep things airtight here once again. They have kept clean sheets in back to back fixtures but discipline will be a key concern as they have seen two red cards in their last three matches.

Goals in short supply

There is a lot on the line for these two sides but they are both defensively solid. We expect this match to be a game where chances are scarce and one moment could swing it. Under 2.5 goals is the play for us and we think the home side could nick it by a single goal.
