Athletico Paranaense, Recent FormAthletico Paranaense will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Fluminense, which ran out a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with 28% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Fluminense managed 23 attempts on goal, with 10 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 22 games in a row, and so far this season they've notched up 5 clean sheets in their 11 games at Ligga Arena.
They have been performing well at Ligga Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Atletico Mineiro, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over Santos in their last league game, Atlético Mineiro will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they recorded 56 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 0 of their 13 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Luiz Felipe Scolari will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 4 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Of the 11 games they have played away from home this season, they have failed to score on 5 occasions; however, they've managed to notch up 5 clean sheets.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
