Athletico Paranaense, Recent FormAthletico Paranaense manager Cuca Stival will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Juventude. During that encounter they had 45% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 15 shots on goal.
Stival will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 17 games in a row.
Vasco da Gama, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 4-0 home defeat by Criciuma, Vasco da Gama manager Ramón Díaz will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Criciuma had 17 shots on goal with 9 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Díaz will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
On an individual basis, Pablo Vegetti has scored in each of Vasco da Gama's last 0 league games away from home.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
In the previous 3 league encounters between these two teams, O Gigante da Colina have failed to score a single goal against Athletico-PR. In their past 5 meetings, Furação's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Vasco will have to take their chances when they come.
In the past Athletico-PR have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 16 games in a row.
There is only really one injury concern for the Athletico-PR manager Cuca Stival ahead of this clash, with Thiago Heleno (Muscle) missing out, which gives Stival a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Paulo Paulinho (Knee) and Jair Rodrigues Júnior (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ramón Díaz will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
