Santos Athletico Paranaense betting prediction

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 1 goal, but has suffered 0 goals at home in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Serie A, they got an away loss against América Mineiro by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Athletico Paranaense has won 1, tied 1 and lost 8. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 5 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 19 of the last 43 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 27 out of 43 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Atletico-PR won the first match between the two clubs 1-0, so they will be playing for a draw in this match, however, the Parana team knows they cannot let up, nor give Santos opportunities to get organised. The team will have to be very attentive and keep their defenders on the ball, as their opponents will have to be constantly on the attack. As a way of responding to the opposition's attacks, they can invest in agile counter-attacks, relying on the accuracy of their strikers to score goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Santos, Zé Ivaldo, Thiago Heleno, Pedro Henrique, Marcinho, Abner, Erick, Nikão, Richard, David Terans, Renato Kayzer.
Coach: L. Scolari.
