In the upcoming scheduled fixture of Copa do Brasil, Round 3, Athletico-PR will be up against CRB at the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba. With the Brazil Serie A action stretching in the streets of Brazil, the upcoming matchup is also likely to bring reasonable excitement for the crowd, followers, and spectators. The last time these two teams played in the second week of April, CRB won (1-0), and Anderson Leite scored the only goal of the match. Before the clash in this year’s Copa do Brasil, the two teams last played in Serie B fixtures of 2012. Continue reading to find out more about the upcoming matchup in Curitiba.

Athletico-PR - Coming off a Defeat Against Fluminense (LWWLD)

Going in the matchup, Athletico Paranaense is failing to maintain consistency, which is why the upcoming matchup against CRB will be a challenge. Athletico-PR is coming off a clean sheet defeat against Fluminense (2-0) in the Serie A, which has added more pressure on them. Hugo Moura, Romulo Cruz, Vitor Bueno, and Christian Cardoso failed to even contribute a little to the team’s gameplay. With 2 wins, 2 defeats, and a draw in the last five matches played, Athletico-PR will be looking to secure an early lead against CRB and level the scoreline. However, in order to win and make a bold statement, Paulo Turra and his men will need to come out aggressive. Taking confidence from the win against Atletico MG in the Libertadores Round 2, Athletico-PR will depend on the likes of Terans, Cruz, and goalkeeper Krepski. However, the final playing lineup will be decided by the management a few hours before the whistle. With only 4 goals scored and 4 conceded, Athletico Paranaense will be looking forward to a cracker against CRB.

Expected Opening Lineup for Athletico-PR

Bento; Khellven, Pedro Henrique, José Ivaldo, Pedrinho; Erick, Fernandinho, Christina; David Terans, Romulo and Vitor Roque.

CRB - Lost to Atletico GO in the Last Outing of Serie B (LWLLW)

Going in the second leg of Copa do Brasil, CRB will be looking forward to maximizing on the previous lead against Athletico-PR and registering a win. However, the last defeat against Atletico GO (2-1) has go them under pressure. Anselmo scored the only goal with an assist made by Rafael Longuine in the 92nd minute of play. However, CRB will look to start defensively and then attack against Athletico-PR. With three defeats and just two wins from the last five matches played, CRB might struggle to even keep the lead. In the last three defeats, CRB has conceded 9 goals and scored just 1. Hence, much will depend on the likes of Anderson Leite, Fabio Alemao, Matheus Ribeiro, and Diogo Silva. 

Expected Opening Lineup for CRB

Diogo Silva; Fábio Alemão, Matheus, Anderson Conceição, Guilherme Romão; Joao Paulo, Auremir, Anderson Leite; Anselmo Ramon, Copete and Mike.

Expert Betting Tips

If Athletico-PR managed to strike a goal before the half-time whistle, I am predicting an aggregate scoreline of 2-1.
