Betting on Atletico Paranaense
After being crowned champion of their state tournament, Athletico Paranense is hoping to replicate its positive run in the Copa Libertadores. So far, the team has been unable to obtain good results, only managing to draw 0-0 against Alianza Lima in Peru. Still, it is worth noting that the Brazilian team struggled more than it should to avoid losing the match.
Moreover, after this game, the team suffered a surprising defeat in its Copa Do Brasil match against the modest CRB. However, Athletico Paranense was able to recover in its debut in the Brasileirao, which saw the team win at home against Goiás.
That revitalizing victory will give the team the confidence it needs for this next match against Atlético Mineiro. The Athletico Paranense team needs to win to keep having a chance to advance to the next round of this competition.
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 Atletico Mineiro
After finishing seventh in the previous season, Atlético Mineiro has the mission to fight until the last match for the Brasileirao title in 2023. That is why the team must give its 100% in every game.
After losing its home debut in the Copa Libertadores against Libertad, the team’s fanbase threw beer at Eduardo Coudet, the team’s coach, showing that they will not tolerate another failure this season.
Regarding its efficiency, the team has only suffered one defeat in its last five matches. Despite the criticism, it has had a very good performance in the various tournaments it has played in. However, the team now faces the pressure of obtaining points in this new round of this important continental tournament.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Everson; Mariano, Mauricio Lemos, Jemerson, Rubens; Igor Gomes, Otavio, Matias Zaracho; Cristian Pavon, Hulk, Paulinho.
JefeBet Prediction
No doubt, this is going to be an amazing match between these two Brazilian teams. Both have top-notch squads filled with high-profile players who bring their A-game to these types of encounters.
