Athletico PR suffered relegation last year after 12 consecutive seasons in Serie A. This year, most people expected them to be among the primary candidates for promotion, but they don't appear to be one. Currently, they are in 11th place with 14 points after ten rounds, but they are still in a position to move into the top four teams, as they are just four points away from securing fourth place. The main reason for their fairly bad placement is their poor road performance, where they won just once in five rounds. To be a contender, they must address this issue as soon as possible.
Atletico GO are in a similar position as their next opponent, considering they also suffered relegation last year and haven't had the desired start. However, unlike Paranaense, they are a team that often moved between Serie A and B in recent years, so that relegation last year wasn't really a surprise. However, they do not appear to be a promotion contender, and despite changing coaches, they are only looking worse and worse as the season progresses. Right now, they are in 14th place with 11 points - just two points away from the danger zone.
Athletico PR vs Atletico GO pick: Athletico PR to win
Athletico PR are in solid form, having won two and drawn one in their last three games. They are a team that won most of their points at home this season. If we include the Cup game, they won four of six matches - 67. Thus far, they have won more than 71% of their total Serie B points at Ligga Arena.
On the other hand, Atletico GO are in terrible momentum, losing back-to-back games against Goias and America MG. They are also without a win in the last four! When it comes to road games, they have been absolutely terrible, failing to win in all five matches.
The h2h games were pretty one-sided in recent matches, as Athletico PR won the last two duels. Additionally, Paraenaense haven't lost in the last 16 games! Considering the trend in the previous h2h games, Athletico PR's good form, and Atletico GO's terrible road record, we believe the hosts are much closer to winning the upcoming Serie B tie.

Atlético GO team news
On May 11th, the club appointed Fabio Matias as the new head coach. However, the start under the new head coach was bad, as they lost both games under him. Before joining Atletico GO, the 45-year-old served as an assistant manager at Botafogo and as the head coach at Coritiba and Juventude.
The team should have no new injuries, but Jorginho and Shaylon should remain sidelined with their injuries. Additionally, defender Matheus Felipe is expected to miss the game due to his loan deal with Athletico PR. Felipe has been one of the key defenders thus far, and his absence should be a big factor.
