⭐ Editor's Pick
Based on current form, I give the advantage to Atletico Paranaense. The Furacão beat Santos and come into this match after a full preparation, while Bragantino played a tough match against Atletico Mineiro just three days ago and now have to think about the return leg in the Copa Sudamericana as well. The difference in schedules here could prove just as important as the difference in current form.
That said, Bragantino should not be underestimated. The team sit in the upper part of the table and have already collected 31 points, and back in February the two sides drew 1:1. However, the home factor, freshness and Atletico's current form make the hosts the more preferable option. Main bet: total under 2.5 goals, which has landed in five consecutive home matches for Paranaense and in six of Braga's last matches. Predicted score: 1:0 to the hosts.
