Ponte Preta desperately need points on Saturday, Jul 25 at 5:00 PM in the Serie B. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Ponte Preta come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Athletic Club, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Ponte Preta and Athletic Club have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (0W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Ponte Preta won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Athletic Club's quality should tell even on the road. Ponte Preta will push, but the visitors have too much class. Athletic Club to win.
