One of the most attractive looking fixtures on the Brazilian Serie A slate for this weekend features the clash between 3rd placed Athletico PR and 2nd placed Bragantino, who face off at the Arena da Baixada on Saturday evening in a tasty prelude to the Copa America final.

Athletico PR’s promising three-match unbeaten run in the Brazilian top flight was cut short in midweek when they were handed a 2-1 defeat away from home at Santos but nevertheless, having picked up a point in a 2-2 draw at home with Chapecoense followed by back-to-back wins against Fluminense 4-1 and a 2-1 victory over Fortaleza, Athletico PR will still feel confident about their chances on Saturday.

The hosts return to their Arena da Baixada for this important upcoming fixture where they’ve made an encouraging start to this campaign.

Three wins out of their opening four matches have given Athletico PR a solid start as they’ve despatched America Mineiro, Atletico GO and the aforementioned Fortaleza so far this term.

The bigger picture shows that Athletico PR are unbeaten in their last 10 matches overall on home soil in Serie A, winning five of their last six games as well.

Bragantino also failed to win their midweek fixture in Serie A as they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at home by third from bottom outfit, Cuiaba, and although they still remain top of the domestic top flight, their lead has been reduced to just a single goal difference over 2nd placed Palmeiras.

Nevertheless, Bragantino still remain undefeated in Serie A this season as the visitors have made a solid start to this new campaign, building on a consolidation season in Serie A after promotion from Serie B and they’ve been tough to beat this time around.

Bragantino are unbeaten in their last 15 matches overall in the domestic top flight while also winning their last five away matches on the trot following victories collected at Chapecoense, Corinthians, Flamengo, Atletico GO and Sao Paulo respectively.

However, four of these wins were achieved against teams sitting in the bottom half of Serie A and Bragantino may well be facing their biggest test yet on the road in the shape of Athletico PR this Saturday evening.

Athletico PR are unbeaten in their previous three meetings at home against Bragantino while the visitors still remain unbeaten this season, so a draw seems fairly likely here.
