Athletico Paranaense host Atletico MG on Wednesday, Oct 7 at 5:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 2 points in the Serie A, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Athletico Paranaense come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Atletico MG, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 2D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Athletico Paranaense face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Atletico MG have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Athletico Paranaense won 1–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Athletico Paranaense a slight edge, but Atletico MG are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
