Corinthians vs Athletico-PR Prediction: Two teams unbeaten for five games meet in São Paulo

Corinthians and Athletico Paranaense are the Série A teams that haven't lost for the longest time, precisely for five matches. Even so, in their unbeaten streaks, draws have been the most common result for both teams, with four ties for Corinthians and three for Athletico. This means the Paulistas have only won one game and the Paranaenses two in their last five fixtures. A balanced match is expected, as Corinthians has been unable to impose itself on its opponents at home.

The Timão once again disappointed its fans and failed to win at home. This time, the opponent was rival Santos, who held the home team to a 1-1 draw in the Black and White Classic. The Fish's goal came in the 99th minute from a penalty converted by Colombian Mendoza. It was the third 1-1 home draw in a row for Corinthians, which needs to pick up wins to get out of the uncomfortable zone where it has been placed. Mano Menezes' side is in 14th place in the table, five points ahead of Goiás, the first team in the relegation zone. The Timão's opponent in this round is a good team striving for more ambitious goals, so it won't be easy to give the fans a cheer.

The Hurricane drew somewhat surprisingly at home to São Paulo in the last round and missed the chance to climb into the top four of the league. Athletico is now in seventh place as Atlético Mineiro matched the Paranaenses on points but climbed to sixth place due to more wins, the first tiebreaker criterion in the Brasileirão. The team will be looking to bring home a win from São Paulo, a result that will keep it well-positioned in the race for a place in next year's Copa Libertadores.

It can't be said that one team or another has a better chance of winning this game. Athletico is a stronger team, but Corinthians is not easy to beat at home. I'm going to bet on both teams scoring, as it's unusual for these teams not to score.
