Paraná form and stats
Three Paranaense 1 home games done for Paraná, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.
The Paraná fans got no joy from their last match, a Paranaense 1 game also here at Estádio Durival de Britto e Silva: A 0-1 defeat against Athletico PR (placed 6th). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Cianorte.
Paraná are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Paraná have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Rio Branco PR form and stats
The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Paranaense 1. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Rio Branco PR have lost on their last two travels.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Paranaense 1 home defeat versus Cascavel CR with 2-4 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Branco manager N. Arruda Lemos faced defeat when travelling to Athletico PR and losing 0-2.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Cascavel CR was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Branco's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. Rio Branco PR are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 3 times in 4 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
