Cuiaba vs Athletico-PR Prediction: Most Important Home Fixture for Cuiaba

The upcoming Brazil Serie A fixture will be featuring Cuiaba against Athletico-PR in the home ground of Cuiaba. In order to make it to the Copa Sudamericana group stages, Cuiaba has to win the upcoming fixture and move up the table. On the other hand, Athletico- PR can easily climb the ladder and move up at least 5 spots in the standings. It will be a crucial game for both teams as they look to keep their position stable in the league.

Cuiaba sent out a second-string starting 11 as they traveled to Melgar in Peru on Thursday evening, having already been eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana on the previous matchday. As predicted, William Araujo’s team was defeated throughout the continent, but when Gustavo Nescau leveled shortly after the hour mark, Cuiaba appeared destined to earn a valuable point owing to a tenacious defensive performance. However, they were defeated 3-1 by their hosts, thanks to two late goals, but the focus now shifts to the Brasileiro, who play Paranaense on Sunday. Cuiaba has started the new season terribly once again, with only eight points from their first seven games, despite surviving relegation by four points last year. With only one win from their last 5 outings, it will be a decent opportunity for the home team to put up a fight and win.

Luiz Felipe Scolari’s team beat Caracas 5-1 at the Arena da Baixada on Thursday night to secure a second-place finish in the Copa Libertadores and advance to the knockout stages. The result followed a recent trend under the former Chelsea and Brazil manager, who has led the team to five victories and only one defeat in his first six games in charge. This is in stark contrast to his predecessor, Fabio Carlile, who was fired after only three weeks on the job after three victories and four defeats.

With 4 exceptional wins from the last 5 games played, Athletico-PR are certainly showing their consistency in the game. With Cuiaba playing at home, it won’t much affect their overall performance. I will predict a 1-2 win for the visitors, with Vitor Roque and Terans in the side.
