Athletico Paranaese vs Corinthians Predictions

• Both teams have netted in three successive Athletico PR fixtures
• Two of Corinthians’ last three outings have seen both teams score
• Athletico PR have only failed to score in one of their last dozen home outings across all competitions

Athletico PR looking for a return to winning ways

They still sit very much in the title race, but back-to-back 1-1 draws against Flamengo and Botafogo may prove to be a minor blip in Athletico PR’s hopes of finishing in first place.

Those two fixtures do mean that their last three outings have seen both teams score, as have three of their last four matches on home soil.

Indeed, the Red and Blacks are usually good value for a goal at Arena da Baixada, where they have netted in 11 of their last 12 games, losing only twice in the process.

Can Corinthians cause an upset?

Visitors Corinthians meanwhile have had a tough season, and head into the weekend in 17th place in the table and having accumulated only seven points from an available 30.

Their defence is a major worry, particularly away from home, where they have conceded in eight of their last nine outings across all competitions.

António Oliveira’s side are no strangers to scoring themselves though, with both teams netting in two of their last three outings thanks to a pair of 2-2 draws.

I predict that both teams will also net in this fixture, but it looks like it will be tough work for Corinthians, so 2-1 to the hosts is my correct score prediction.
