Santos FC welcome Athletico Paranaense on Sunday, Aug 9 at 11:30 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Santos FC come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Athletico Paranaense, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Santos FC head into this on the back of a defeat, while Athletico Paranaense arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
In 10 previous meetings, Santos FC lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Santos FC won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Santos FC a slight edge, but Athletico Paranaense are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
