Corinthians vs Athletico Paranaense Prediction and Betting Tips | October 17th 2024
Corinthians will host Athletico Paranaense at the Neo Quimica Arena on Thursday in another round of the 2024 Brasileirao Serie A campaign. The home side have endured a thoroughly underwhelming campaign and currently find themselves battling for survival as they sit 18th in the table with 29 points from 29 games.
They played out a 2-2 draw against Internacional in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points on home turf following a Yuri Alberto brace before their opponents leveled the scores at the death.
Athletico Paranaense have not fared much better than their opponents in the league this season and find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Botafogo last time out, falling behind after just 14 minutes and failing to find a way back into the contest despite an improved second-half display.
The visitors sit 15th in the table with 31 points picked up. They are just two points above Vitoria in the first relegation spot and will be looking to widen that gap on Thursday.
