Analysis

Atletico Paranaense's attacking threat is spearheaded by Kevin Viveros, who has netted 19 goals this season and scored in this fixture. Their home form is strong, having scored in their last five home games, which supports the prediction of a high-scoring win. Coritiba's creativity largely depends on Josué, their top assister with 10 assists, but their recent goal drought and weaker defensive record suggest they will struggle to contain Atletico's firepower. The absence of Atletico's defender Gastón Benavídez might slightly weaken their defence, but their offensive strength should more than compensate.
