Paraná are looking to quickly end their 227 minutes long goal drought in the Serie B.
Paraná play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to América Mineiro (placed 2nd). A 0-2 loss hosting Figueirense before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Paraná are hosting Brasil de Pelotas in the Serie B only four days away.

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 26 goals in their away games.
