Athletico-PR vs América-MG Prediction: Athletico is the favorite against the last one

Athletico Paranaense has been in a good run of form, drawing away to Botafogo, the top team in the league. The match was suspended due to faults in the stadium's electrical system and had to be completed the following day. The score was tied 1-1 when the match was suspended after 51 minutes, and the following day no team managed to score. Despite being an atypical game, it always seemed that Athletico-PR was comfortable in the match, showing great confidence. With this state of mind, the Hurricane will host América-MG, the last-placed team, in a match in which the home side is the clear favorite.

Athletico-PR

The Paranaenses are in fifth place in the Brasileirão and have shown that they deserve to be well placed. In the last three fixtures, the team has played Bragantino, Grêmio, and Botafogo, teams from the top of the table, and hasn't lost a game, two being away from home. After an unexpected defeat to rival Coritiba, the team has bounced back well and is looking strong in the final third of the Brasileirão. The Hurricane fans are hoping for a win against the Rabbit.

América-MG

The Mineiros narrowly failed to beat Corinthians in São Paulo. América conceded the equalizer in the 99th minute when no one expected it. It was another demoralizing result for the last-placed team in the Série A. Luck has not been on the Rabbit's side, as it came very close to a draw against Botafogo in Round 27. The team has been fighting with a lot of dignity, but its fate seems to be sealed, as the 12-point gap to 16th place, the first place above the relegation zone, is practically impossible to reach.

Expert Betting Tips

It will be a big surprise if Athletico Paranaense doesn't win this game. The collective play of Wesley Carvalho's team has been impressive, and even without Vitor Roque, the team's star, Athletico has consistently scored. América-MG will once again be looking to pick up a point, but the team's confidence is low. I'm backing the home team to win.
