Betting on Atletico Paranaense
The team from Paraná is gearing up for their debut in the Brasileirao with a killer competitive edge. They’ve already claimed the championship in their state and have been busy with their commitments in the Copa Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
Athletico Paranaense had a solid season in 2022, finishing in sixth place with 58 points, which secured their direct qualification for the Libertadores. They kicked off their campaign with a goalless draw against Alianza Lima and are now set to face off against Atlético Mineiro next Tuesday in the second round of the continental tournament. This team is definitely one to watch!
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Bento; Khellven, Zé Ivaldo, Thiago Heleno, Pedrinho; Fernandinho, Erick; Agustín Cannobio, David Terans, Tomás Cuello; Vitor Roque.
Betting on Goias
The team from Goiania is heading into this first matchday of the Brazilian Serie A with a chip on their shoulder, having lost the state tournament to Atlético Goianense on penalties, despite a 3-3 tie over both legs of the competition.
On top of that, they’re currently battling it out in the Copa Sudamericana, having kicked off their campaign with a goalless draw against Santa Fe on April 4. They’ll face off against Universitario from Peru this coming Thursday. It is important to highlight that in the previous season, Goiás finished 13th in the table with 46 points.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Tadeu; Maguinho, Sidimar, Edu, Hugo; Willian Oliveira, Zé Ricardo, Felipe Bastos; Vinícius, Diego, Philippe Costa.
JefeBet Prediction
It’s debut time for both teams in the Brasileirao, and they both come in with similar amounts of matches under their belt. However, they had different outcomes in their respective state tournaments. Paranaense may have the upper hand, especially since they’ll be playing on their home turf.
The context is different from what these teams have been facing in the previous weeks, but at JefeBet, we believe that the home team has what it takes to come out on top.
Prediction: Athletico Paranaense Moneyline (ATH 2-1 GOI).
