International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Athletico PR and Metropolitanos are looking forward to this Copa Sudamericana fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
The hosts Athletico saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Paranaense 1. This match was also played here at Arena da Baixada. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Metropolitanos have had more rest.
These teams have little in common geographically as Metropolitanos have to travel 6200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Athletico PR form and stats
Two home wins in a row for Athletico bring valid hopes of a third.
A nice win for Athletico last time playing, versus Rio Branco PR. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0. Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Cascavel CR.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Athletico PR as they are travelling to their away game against Parana in the Paranaense 1. That match is two days after this one.
Metropolitanos form and stats
0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Metropolitanos playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Copa Sudamericana stats, they have 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss both home and away.
Metropolitanos's previous game was their home loss versus Melgar (2-3). It was a Primera Division defeat before that one as the away game against Atletico Venezuela wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
A huge disappointment for Metropolitanos in their last match (vs Melgar). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.
After this away game Metropolitanos return home for a Primera Division game against Caracas. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Metropolitanos have the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
