MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Atletico Paranaense are one of the strongest hosts in Brazilian football and they proved that on their way to winning the cup title earlier this year, but also have shown in the league that they are tough to beat at home and it happened only once in the last five rounds they hosted – a 2-0 loss to the leaders Flamengo.
They come from a match at home, having beaten CS Alagoano 1-0 at their stadium last weekend, while Cruzeiro kept climbing up on the table with last weekend’s 1-1 draw at home against Bahia.
It seems like they will finally get away from the relegation zone, but four of their last seven matches were against teams fighting at the bottom of the table, while Athletico Paranaense are much closer to the top, which is why Cruzeiro will have problems in this game and the hosts will beat them.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO - HIGH
With Athletico Parananese’s poor defensive moment at home, two of the last six matches they hosted ended with three or more goals out of a total of only four, which means there’s a trend of high scoring games at home for them, and with Cruzeiro’s attack having scored in their last three matches as visitors, this game can be expected to have three or more goals, meaning we will have a high score.
HEAD TO HEAD
Athletico Paranaense beat Cruzeiro in the last two times they clashed and didn't even concede in any of those two games.
