Athletico Paranaense vs Corinthians Prediction and Betting Tips | June 23rd 2024
Athletico Paranaense will host Corinthians at the Ligga Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2024 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have had a largely solid league campaign and will fancy themselves early title contenders despite recent struggles.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Botafogo in their last match, taking the lead in the second half via a Gonzalo Mastriani strike before their opponents leveled the scores at the death.
Corinthians, meanwhile, have failed to come alive in the league so far and currently find themselves in the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Internacional last time out, falling behind late in the first-half and failing to find their way back into the game despite a significantly improved second-half display.
The visitors sit 18th in the league table with seven points from 10 games. They are one point above last-placed Fluminense and will be desperate to widen that gap on Sunday.
