Atletico Paranaense take on the visitors Corinthians in the round 12 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, June 16th at Arena da Baixada (Curitiba).
Atlético Paranaense is generally more successful on the international stage. The Hurricane won the Copa Sudamericana last season, and this is the 2nd such trophy in the past few years. But the only championship title came in 2001. And last season, a very modest 14th place was taken - however, all this was offset by international success, and everyone is pleased with Luis Felipe Scolari. In the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilians were able to eventually make it to the playoffs, albeit from 2nd place. And in Brasileirao, having overcome a bad start (4 defeats in the first 6 rounds), Atlético Paranaense made their way into the group of leaders. Taking into account the 0-0 with Fortaleza, the unbeaten streak in all tournaments has already reached 7 matches.

Corinthians is finally trying to regain the status of the strongest. "Timau" - 1 of the historical giants of Brazilian football. And it's not just about the glorious history: in 2011-2017, 3 league titles and the Copa Libertadores were won. But after that there were only mediocre results in the national championship. Suffice it to say that the 5th final place in 2021 was the best result in the 4 years that have passed since the recent "gold" season. Perhaps now the wards of Vitor Pereira will be able to achieve more convincing results? They are not without problems, but they managed to make it to the playoffs of the Copa Libertadores. And in Serie A they managed to break into 1st place. Although there were problems like a defeat to Cuiaba. Because of this misfire, even after the victory over Juventude, the grandee is behind Palmeiras.
Atlético Paranaense has only won 1 of the last 11 matches. Corinthians have 3 wins with a draw 3-3 in last four head-to-heads. Atlético Paranaense is always especially dangerous at home. But Corinthians is now fighting for leadership - we bet that they will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Corinthians to win with +0.5 handicap (X2).
