Failing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Flamengo will have left the Cuiaba squad feeling a little deflated.  They came away from that fixture with 32% of the possession and clocked up 2 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Flamengo managed 19 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 4 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.  

It has not been their best home spell of late at Arena Pantanal, with 3 defeats and only a single victory in their last 6 home matches.

The last league instalment for Athletico Paranaense produced a stunning 3-0 home win over Santos.  They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Santos' tally of 13 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.  

They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.  

On an individual basis, Vitor Roque is giving Athletico Paranaense's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
