Corinthians vs. Athletico Paranaense: Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

A victory over Athletico Paranaense at Corinthians Arena on Thursday would allow Corinthians to escape the relegation zone momentarily.

Timao is currently ranked 18th in the Brasileiro Serie A table, having played to a 2-2 draw with Internacional in their most recent match. El Paranaense, only two points above them, lost their most recent game 1-0 to Botafogo.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Corinthians has encountered difficulty during the domestic season thus far, as they are presently experiencing a three-match winless streak in all competitions.

After winning three consecutive competitive matches without conceding a single goal, the team from Tatuape experienced a decline.

Corinthians is on a 10-game home unbeaten streak in the Brasileiro Serie A, and Ramon Diaz has not lost a home match since assuming command.

They had amassed a mere 29 points in 29 domestic matches this year, seven fewer than their total from a year ago when they finished 13th place.

In the interim, they experienced 12 domestic losses in 2024, equivalent to their total from the previous Serie A season.

Coringao has not lost in their last 13 home matches against El Paranaense in this competition. They secured a 1-0 victory in this match the previous year.

Athletico Paranaense has been reducing its position in the Serie A table game by game, and it is currently experiencing a nine-match winless streak in the top tier.

Consequently, the Curitiba-based club is only two points above the relegation line despite playing the fewest games this season (27).

While his team has scored only one goal in their last five domestic matches, Lucho Gonzalez has scored the joint third-fewest goals in the league thus far (27).

Paranaense has failed to score in its last four away matches in this competition and has failed to score in its previous two league contests as a visitor.

In 2024, Furacao failed to maintain a second-half advantage on five separate occasions, resulting in a loss of 11 points.
