Athletico Paranaense vs Corinthians Prediction: Luiz Felipe Scolari’s Red and Black will run out of luck one day

One of the leaders of the current Brazilian championship, Corinthians will play the next match away against Athletico Paranaense. Will Almighty be able to win? We will choose several options for betting at once.

The Red and Black approach the encounter with Corinthians sitting fifth in the standings, just five points away from the leading Palmeiras. But it seems that such an advantageous position of Athletico Paranaense is largely due to the team's amazing luck. This was confirmed by the meeting in the previous round, when Fortaleza, playing on their home field, literally drove the Red and Black the entire game but failed to convert their chances, 0-0. Paranaense bounced back again. In the last five rounds, Luiz Felipe Scolari's team has no losses – three wins and two draws.

In the last round, the Great Team took on Juventude and left their opponent no chance of success. Corinthians scored a goal in each half and won 2-0. Vitor Pereira's team secured second place in the standings. Following 11 rounds, Corinthians have 21 points under their belt and are just one point behind the leading Palmeiras. Pereira's charges have conceded only 9 goals. Only Palmeiras, the reigning two-time winner of Copa Libertadores, has a better result.

Last season Corinthians defeated Atletico Paranaense twice with the same score of 1-0.

Athletico Paranaense are led by coaching legend Luiz Felipe Scolari. That will certainly be one factor in the Red and Black's success at the start of the 2022 championship. However, we should not dismiss the fact that Athletico are very lucky. In the last round, Fortaleza defeated Scolari's charges, but simply failed to score a goal. It is likely that in the upcoming game Corinthians will score everything that the previous opponent failed to.

Prediction: Corinthians will be closer to success.
