Atletico PR vs Vitoria Prediction 4 August 2026
🔊 The first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16 between Atletico Paranaense and Vitoria takes place at Arena da Baixada. The hosts go in as favourites - home advantage and a higher level of play work in their favour - but Vitoria will want to keep things open ahead of the second leg. First legs in cup ties tend to be cautious affairs, so don't expect either side to open up.

Odair Hellmann's side are having a strong season and remain in contention for a high finish in both Série A and the Copa do Brasil. In the previous round, Athletico Paranaense got through against Atlético Goianiense from Série B, though not without drama - both legs ended 0-0, and it took a penalty shootout win (4-1) to send the Furacão into the Round of 16.

At home they're even harder to beat. Ten straight matches without a loss at Arena da Baixada - seven wins and three draws - and in six of those last ten home games they kept a clean sheet.

In the previous round, Vitoria beat Fortaleza from Série B, winning both legs 2-1. Since then, Jair Ventura's side have played four Série A matches: a win over Vasco da Gama (1-0), a draw with Botafogo (0-0), then back-to-back defeats to Remo (0-2) and Palmeiras (0-4).
One thing stands out across those matches - only one team scored in every single one of them, and in three cases it was Vitoria who failed to get on the board. Atletico Paranaense are a particularly uncomfortable opponent for the Salvador club: the Leões da Barra have lost six of their last seven meetings. Vitoria will need to be sharp from the first whistle - in nine of their last ten head-to-head matches, they conceded before half-time. Keeping the hosts out will be a tall order anyway, given that Vitoria have conceded in 17 of their last 18 away games.
