A duel between two important teams with different realities will take place this weekend on the 11th date of the Brasileirão when Athletico-PR and Corinthians face each other in Curitiba.
The Furacão is fighting at the top, and although it has two consecutive draws, they were against top teams such as Flamengo and Botafogo.
On the other hand, the Coringão’s tournament has been disappointing, and they are in second to last place with only one win.

Why Bet on Athletico-PR?
It has been a good tournament for Athletico-PR. With 18 points, it is in fourth place in the tournament and has three games without defeat, beating Criciúma 3-1 and drawing with Flamengo and Botafogo, both 1-1.
One thing the team from Paraná has to check is to learn how to close the games, as in the previous two draws, they conceded goals in the last play that ended up hurting them. They could have been the tournament leaders with a little more concentration. Despite that, the team’s strongest point has been, precisely, their backline, as they have conceded only seven goals, being the third-best defense behind Palmeiras (5) and Internacional (5). On top, they have 14 goals, and Uruguayan Gonzalo Mastriani is their top scorer with four.
Among the highlights of the Furacão is that it is the strongest local team in the Brasileirão, as it has four wins and one draw in five matches, scoring ten goals and conceding only two.
The team has two sensitive absentees: goalkeeper Bento and midfielder Agustín Canobbio, called up by Brazil and Uruguay for the Copa América, respectively.
Why Bet on Corinthians?
Although there are still many games to go, Corinthians’ situation is starting to worry its fans. With only seven points, they are in 18th place in the tournament, dropping to Série B.
In their last game, they lost 1-0 to Internacional and have now gone six matches without a win. They have only been able to win one game in the whole championship, at the end of April vs. Fluminense, the bottom club. Seven goals scored and 11 conceded complement the numbers of the Timão this year. And as visitors, it has been worse, with only one point out of a possible 15, scoring two goals and conceding eight.
The atmosphere is tense for Portuguese coach António Oliveira, who will have among the absences for this weekend the Paraguayan Ángel Romero, called up for the Copa América.
