There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Paraná have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Paraná form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Paraná so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose). Football is a nightmare at the moment for Paraná who have suffered through a seven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters. A depressing five defeats in a row for Paraná in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Cuiabá.

Paraná's previous game was their home loss versus Figueirense (0-2). Prior to that match, the Paraná manager A. Aal faced defeat when travelling to Ponte Preta and losing 1-2.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Paraná as they have only managed to score 11 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Paraná have conceded 25 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Paraná - América 0-1 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): América won two games, four matches ended with a draw and Paraná has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: zero / ten
