Goias take on the visitors Athletico Paranaense in the round 16 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, July10th at Estádio da Serrinha (Goiania).
Goias set the usual task. "Parrots" have recently turned into something like a football "elevator" in Brazilian football. They had to spend 2010-2011, 2016-2018 and even the last season in Serie B. And it's good that once again the stay in the 2nd division of the country was limited to only the 1st, last year, and ended with the 2nd place in Serie B. It is obvious that, having returned to Brasileirao, the main goal is called simple survival there. So far, the newcomer is more or less confident in implementing this, mostly staying in the safe zone and taking points quite regularly, including even winning. But a misfire in the last round, with a direct competitor, America Mineiro (away 0-1), threw the team back to the dangerous 17th place.

Athletico Paranaense may take the start of the season to its credit. "Red-black" in the last championship of Brazil took only a very modest 14th place. But these failures in the domestic arena were qualitatively offset by success in the international arena: the Brazilians were able to win the Copa Sudamericana. By the way, this gave a pass in 2022 to the Copa Libertadores, where they made it to the playoffs. And this week there was a meeting with Libertad, who was defeated 2-1 at home in the first leg. In Paraguay it was difficult, the opponent scored “in the locker room”. But in the 90th minute, the young striker Romulo scored a goal and it was enough for the overall success of 1-1. At the same time, the wards of Luis Felipe Scolari looked great in the last rounds of Serie A. There are no defeats in 9 rounds in a row, and away 2-0 with the leader, Palmeiras, was the 3rd victory in a row.
All 3 last head-to-head matches brought victories for Atlético Paranaense. In the 2020 championship, they won 2-1 at home and 1-0 away. Atletico Paranaense, of course, spent a lot of energy in the Copa Libertadores. But still they are strong, and the opponent does not shine. We bet on visitors with handicap "0".
Prediction for the match: Athletico Paranaense to win with 0.0 handicap.
