Match Preview

Both of these teams are struggling to find some form ahead of our Vitoria vs Atletico Paranaense preview and soccer predictions, but the home side are in a more immediate danger of slipping into the relegation battle in the short-term future.

Vitoria have scored in each of their last three home matches in the Brasileiro Série A but came away with just one point for their trouble. Atletico Paranaense have taken the same amount of spoils from their last available 12 on the road.

Our Vitoria vs Atletico Paranaense predictions are based on this contest being a tight game due to both teams having decidedly indifferent form, which makes backing a winning margin and both teams scoring seem the most likely route to take in the Brazilian Serie A odds.

Just two points separate these two sides in the table, with the duo hovering between potentially securing a place in the Copa Sudamericana and dropping out of the division in the bottom four.

Vitoria vs Atletico Paranaense Prediction and Betting Advice

Vitoria have found the back of the net in their last three consecutive home games, with the hosts appearing to have a nose for goal at Estadio Manoel Barradas. They’ve found the back of the net on seven occasions in their last five games on their own patch.

Atletico PR, meanwhile, have been quite toothless. With just one goal in their last four outings on the road in the Brazilian Serie A, things aren’t looking good, but they finally broke that duck last time out with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sao Paulo. They may have finally turned a corner mentally in that respect.

Betfair offer the best value in the market of both teams finding the back of the net on Friday evening, and given that the duo are both looking to fight to steer clear of the relegation battle come the very end of the campaign, that desperation should be enough to carry them to a competitive standoff.

Our Vitoria vs Atletico Paranaense bets also back this game to be very tight this week. No more than one goal has settled 12 of the away side’s last 13 away league games, with Atletico PR capable of staying in games and battling. They just lack the bit of quality required to scrape some positive results from favourable situations, making Betway’s offer look tasty.

Vitoria, too, have had a lot of close games at home lately. Avai, Fluminense, Sao Paulo, and Sport Recife have all picked up points against them of late, but none of those contests were settled by more than a one-goal margin either. This week should be a continuation of both teams’ recent form.

Our Vitoria vs Atletico Paranaense picks suggest that these teams will both be battling until the very death to try and take some points to help them stay afloat. Lose a couple of games at this stage of the season and either of them could be in trouble. Given their recent form, they need to step up their performance levels or risk being at the mercy of those below them in the table.
