Atletico-PR take on the visitors Santa Cruz at “Arena da Baixada” in the second-leg match of the 1/8 stage of the Copa do Brasil. The game will be played in Curitiba on Thursday, June 1st. The first-leg clash ended with 0:0 draw.
Atletico-PR showed unsuccessful results at the beginning of the Brazilian Serie A: the side managed to pick up only one point with 3-9 goal difference in three rounds and occupies the 19th place in the table. In regard to the Copa do Brasil, “Furacao” entered the competition at the 1/8 stage and the draw getting on the road is the great outcome for the team. Speaking about the performance of Paulo Autuori’s team at its own ground in 2017, Atletico-PR recorded six triumphs, seven draws and three defeats in 16 games played. However, “Furacao” has been failing to win in face of its supporters since the 27th of April across four matches in a row resulting in three losses and one draw.

Last season Santa Cruz relegated from the Serie A and now they play in the Serie B. After three matchdays the side occupies the sixth position in the standings with six points taken and 4-3 goal difference. Vinicius Eutropio’s side took the start in the Copa do Brasil at the current stage getting 0:0 draw against Atletico-PR. In 2017 “Tricolor” participated in 14 encounters on the road recording eight victories, three draws and three defeats in them.
Concerning the rivals’ head-to-heads, Atletico-PR followed five-game winning streak vs. Santa Cruz with two-clash no-win series taking 0:1 loss and 0:0 draw. Still, “Furacao” won all three home encounters against Santa Cruz in their history: 4:0, 2:1 and 1:0. I believe that this time the hosts will also prolong their successful series against “Tricolor” at their own turf.
Prediction for the match: Atletico-PR to win.
