The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Paraná are in the 8th position while the guesting União PR worry at 12th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Paraná form and stats
When playing at home in the Paranaense 1, Paraná, who have the most clean sheets (4) in Paranaense 1, have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games.
The spoils were shared in Paraná's previous game, also at home. Visiting Londrina (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Bahia de Feira.
Paraná aren't scoring a lot here at Estádio Durival de Britto e Silva in the league, with only 4 goals from 5 games. Paraná have conceded 5 in these home matches.
União PR form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (18) in Paranaense 1, on their Paranaense 1 travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. With the União PR losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on R. Bahia, the União PR manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
União PR aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 341 league minutes without a goal. Sato Emerson was the last player to find the net.
There might be some fixture complaints from União PR as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Paranaense 1 match against Cascavel CR (0-3). A loss against Operario PR was the result prior to that, in a home game.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The opposition has been scoring high and low on União PR's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 13 goals in 5 travels.
