Paraná form and stats

5-5-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Paraná so far this season. It's trouble wherever Paraná are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Paraná, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The fans are hoping that Paraná will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Serie B game against Ponte Preta (placed 6th). Before that game, the home loss against Vitória with the scoreline 1-4.

There will be little rest for Paraná after this match as they are travelling to America Mineiro for a Serie B game in only three days.

Paraná are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 13 games. Paraná are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Durival de Britto e Silva in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 13 matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
