Athletico PR host Palmeiras in Serie A, with the home side having just thrashed their last opponent 4-1, while the visitors also won 2-1 in their last Copa Libertadores game. Both therefore come in having won, the only difference being the competition they played in. Athletico PR are unbeaten in 4 straight matches. Their attack has been scoring steadily of late, but their defence still shows lapses from time to time. Palmeiras, meanwhile, are on a 3-match winning run and have clearly conceded fewer goals throughout the season. The visitors therefore have the tighter shape, but coming to this ground is no easy task, because the home side are playing with far more aggression than before. This game should turn into a trading of blows in which the home side do not sit back deep, but instead try to control the rhythm at home first, then see when the visitors open up and push forward. What to watch is the early phase, and whether Athletico PR can press hard enough to score first.
