Athletico Paranaense vs Atletico Goianiense Prediction and Betting Tips | November 20th 2024
Athletico Paranaense and Atletico Goianiense lock horns at the Arena da Baixada in round 34 of the Brasileiro Serie A on Wednesday. Having failed to win the last 15 meetings between the sides, Anderson Gomes’ men will enter the midweek clash looking to get one over Athletico Paranaense and continue their late push to avoid relegation.
Athletico Paranaense returned to winning ways last Saturday when they edged out Atletico Mineiro 1-0 on home turf courtesy of a first-half strike from 24-year-old Tomas Cuello.
Prior to that, Lucho Gonzalez’s side snapped their five-game losing streak on October 26, when they secured a 3-0 victory over Cruzeiro. However, they followed it up by losing consecutive games against Vitoria and Sao Paulo, respectively.
Athletico Paranaense have picked up 37 points from their 33 Serie A matches to sit 14th in the table, level on points with Fluminense, Criciuma and Juventude, who are all below them on goal difference.
Elsewhere, Atletico Goianiense were denied consecutive wins for the first time since August last time out when they played out a goalless draw with Red Bull Bragantino at the Estádio Antônio Accioly.
This came after a 1-0 victory over Atletico Mineiro on November 7, a result which saw their run of three back-to-back league games without a win come to an end.
Goianiense have picked up just 26 points from their 33 matches to sit rock-bottom in the league standings, 11 points away from safety with just five games to go.
