Atletico Paranaense's equivalent sample reads 8 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses, scoring 26 and conceding 24. A fair few of those have been draws at home, including 3-3s and a 1-1, so they've found goals hard to turn into three points at times.

Atletico Paranaense drawing so often at home suggests a side that competes but doesn't always find a way to win.

Comparative Team Statistics: Atletico Paranaense vs Palmeiras

Head-to-head record

These two have met plenty of times since 2017, and the head-to-head list runs right up to April this year, when Palmeiras won 1-0. Before that, Palmeiras also won 0-2 away in September 2024 and 1-0 at home in November 2023.

It's worth remembering this history mixes league, Libertadores and Recopa games across several seasons, so it's not a guaranteed guide to this fixture. Still, the recent trend does lean towards Palmeiras.

Recent meetings favour Palmeiras, though that alone won't settle a match a month out.

League table snapshot

Palmeiras sit second with 57 points from 28 games, built on 16 wins, 9 draws and just 3 losses. They've scored 47 and conceded only 21, which is a tidy return.

Atletico Paranaense are third with 49 points from the same number of matches, having won 14, drawn 7 and lost 7. Their goals for tally of 43 is close to Palmeiras, but they've shipped 32, well more than their opponents.

The gap between the two isn't huge, but Palmeiras' tighter defence stands out as the main separator.

Players and fitness notes

Atletico Paranaense's biggest individual threat is K. Viveros, who has 18 goals in 26 matches this season, a big share of their attacking output. Palmeiras spread their scoring more evenly, with J. López on 8 and Maurício on 7, while Andreas Pereira's 10 assists show where a lot of their chances come from.

Injury list:

Vitor Roque

On the fitness side, Atletico Paranaense have Renan Peixoto and Renan Viana both listed as questionable, and Palmeiras have similar question marks over Mauricio and Vitor Roque. None of these are confirmed absences for this specific fixture, so it's worth treating them as things to watch rather than certainties.

How this one could play out

Given Atletico Paranaense's habit of conceding at home and drawing games rather than losing them, and Palmeiras' tighter defensive numbers, there's a case for a tight, cagey contest rather than an open one. Viveros' scoring record does give the hosts a route back into any game, though.

Palmeiras' balance across the pitch, allied to their h2h edge, points to them being competitive again here, but Atletico Paranaense's home form hasn't been easy to break down completely either.
