In the early hours of Monday, Atletico PR hosts RB Bragantino at the Alinja Arena in Serie A as the visitors look to extend their recent unbeaten run.
Atletico PR form guideThe home team saw an eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions come to an end last time out, as they went down to a 2-0 defeat at Coritiba. The game was another low-scoring encounter for Atletico PR, as six of their previous nine matches in all competitions have now produced under 2.5 goals.
Despite the recent defeat, Atletico PR are still in eighth place in the table, occupying a Copa Sudamericana spot, but also just four points adrift of the Copa Libertadores berths.
Atletico PR have been difficult to beat on home soil lately, as they are unbeaten in their previous nine home matches. They have also scored at least two goals in six of their last seven league games in front of their own supporters.
RB Bragantino form guideThe visitors have been in red-hot form of late in the Brazilian top-flight, as they are unbeaten in five games, having recorded four wins in the run. They have also been relatively prolific in front of goal of late, scoring at least two goals in each of their recent four wins.
At the other end of the pitch, Bragantino has also kept clean sheets in four of their previous five matches in the Brazilian top flight.
Their recent stellar form has been a critical factor in RB Bragantino’s second-place position in the Serie A table, seven points behind league leaders Botafogo.
Bragantino’s recent away form has been slightly inconsistent, as they have won just three of their last six league matches on their travels.
What am I backing?Both teams have been in decent form of late in Serie A, Coritiba defeat aside for Atletico. I expect an entertaining game, which is why I am backing over 2.5 goals scored.
