Athletico Paranaese vs Corinthians Predictions
[wptb id=389433]
A Tale of Two Seasons
Key Stats
– Corinthians’ Away Form: Corinthians have struggled on the road, failing to score in six of their last seven away games and losing eight of their previous ten away matches.
– Players’ Contributions: Athletico PR’s Vitor Roque has contributed five goals and two assists in his 11 appearances this season. In contrast, Corinthians’ Roger Guedes, despite his three-game goal drought, has made his mark with five goals this season.
As we approach the 12th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, the eyes of Brazilian football fans will be set on the exciting encounter at the Arena da Baixada on Saturday, where Athletico Paranaense is set to host Corinthians. Currently standing ninth with 16 points, Athletico PR had a fall from grace after their recent defeat to Sao Paulo, while Corinthians have seen a slight surge, occupying the 14th position, just four points behind their rivals, following a refreshing win.
A season that began with promise for Athletico PR, winning four of their initial six league games, took a downward turn with losses to Fluminense and Atletico Mineiro. Subsequent struggles saw Paulo Turra’s side gaining just four more points from five outings. Despite disappointing losses against Bragantino and Gremio, they managed to maintain a decent form, highlighted by a 1-0 win against league leaders Botafogo, courtesy of Alex Santana’s well-timed goal.

On the other hand, Corinthians had a tough start to the campaign, winning their Brasileiro opener against Cruzeiro only to face back-to-back defeats. Despite the return of Vanderlei Luxemburgo, the team’s performance didn’t improve significantly, with two draws and two losses further dampening their spirits.
A Glimmer of Hope
Despite the hurdles, both teams are showing signs of recovery. Athletico PR’s recent victories over Botafogo and Libertad have restored some of their lost glory, while Corinthians too tasted triumph over Fluminense and ended a win drought of six games. The victory over Santos in their latest game, thanks to goals from Yuri Alberto and Ruan Oliveira, hints at a possible return of Corinthians’ winning streak.
The performances of both teams reveal a series of fluctuations, but these are not mere coincidences. A careful examination of the numbers behind the performances might provide a roadmap for the upcoming clash.
The Numbers Behind the Tale
Athletico PR’s 18-year-old Vitor Roque, who has already scored five goals and provided two assists in 11 appearances, is expected to spearhead the attack. His influence on the game can’t be underestimated, as his contribution to Athletico PR’s performance has been significant, with only one other player in the division having notched up more goals at this stage.
The Corinthians side have their own prolific scorer in Roger Guedes, who too has scored five times this season. However, Guedes has been silent for the past three games, and he would be keen to end this drought in the upcoming clash.
Predicting the Outcome
Given Corinthians’ poor record of not scoring in six of their last seven away games and their overall unstable performance, the prediction leans towards Athletico PR. The hosts have won four out of their last five home league games and are favourites for the upcoming match.
Our main prediction is Athletico PR to Win To Nil. Corinthians’ trouble in scoring, especially away from home, combined with Athletico PR’s relatively more stable home form, makes this prediction plausible. A conservative prediction for the correct score would be 2-0 in favour of Athletico PR, reflecting Corinthians’ struggles and Athletico PR’s robust home performance.
