Atletico-PR take on the visitors Botafogo RJ at “Arena da Baixada” in the closing match of the gameweek 15 of the Brazilian Serie A. The game will be played in Curitiba on Friday, July 21st.
After their four-clash winning streak in mid-June, “Furacaos” have failed to win across last six encounters in the season. Atletico-PR have gained two draws and four defeats since the 29th of June. That unlucky series had influence on the team’s position in the Serie A: after 14 rounds the side sits on the 15th place in the table with 16 points earned and 14-20 goal difference. At their home field “Furacaos” demonstrate unusually weak performance for a South American representative as the side picked up just seven points with six goals for and eight goals against in six away clashes in the Serie A.

On the contrary, having lost three games in a row at the end of June, Botafogo RJ got three triumphs and a single draw in their four recent matches. “Fogao” occupies the sixth place in the Serie A standings with 22 points earned and 16-13 goal difference. The team took eight points with five goals for and six goals against in seven away encounters, having showed defensive football.
Historically, “Furacaos” have a slight advantage in their head-to-heads against Botafogo RJ. However, the visiting side looks better at the moment. The only thing typical for both teams now is not many goals scored in this season, therefore, one shouldn’t expect for a number of goals in the upcoming fight.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
