Our read before the game
Athletico's unbeaten home run is built on draws, not wins; backing the draw beats backing Athletico
Athletico haven't lost at home in five games but three of those were draws, and Palmeiras arrive without suspended defenders Giay and Gustavo Gomez while sandwiched between two Libertadores semifinal legs against Fluminense. Expect a tight, low scoring night where a draw is live for both sides rather than a clean home win.
Atletico Paranaense team news
- Gaston Benavidez: doubt, physical problem (as of early/mid October previews)
- Claudinho: doubt, physical problem (as of early October preview)
Palmeiras team news
- Giay: suspended, third yellow card
