The Coritiba & Athletico PR managers E. de Souza Barroca and D. Silvestre Júnior are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Paranaense 1 league table.
The visiting Athletico PR played their last game only four days ago, a Copa Libertadores match. That game, against Colo-Colo, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Athletico PR.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
