Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Athletico PR form and stats
3-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Athletico PR so far this season. There’s a good atmosphere here at Arena da Baixada after three straight home wins.
A good away victory last time out for Athletico PR, who won 1-0 against Cuiabá (placed 16th). Manager Scolari felt very clever after Roque scored the winning goal against Cuiabá, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 63rd minute. Vinícius was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.85 out of 10. The defender Vinícius won 5 of 11 duels.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Athletico PR have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
The manager Scolari will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Juventude in only four days.
Athletico have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Santos form and stats
The Serie A season is young and Santos have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Santos seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Santos aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 282 league minutes without a goal. Rwan was the last player to find the net.
This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Palmeiras with 0-1 on the scoreboard. The attacker Leonardo got a match rating of 7.63 in that game. Leonardo hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
Santos are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 6 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Internacional in just four days.
Santos are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games.
Head 2 Head
