Athletico Paranaense vs Bahia Prediction and Betting Tips | July 10th 2024

Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Athletico Paranaense and Bahia square off at Arena da Baixada on Wednesday. Both sides have enjoyed a solid campaign so far and are currently separated by just two points at the top half of the table.

Athletico Paranaense made it back-to-back Serie A away wins for the first time this season last Sunday when they edged out 10-man Atletico Goianiense 2-1 at the Estádio Antônio Accioly.

Juliano Antonello’s men now return home, where they have failed to win their last three matches, claiming two draws and losing once since a 3-1 victory over Criciuma on June 14.

Paranaense have picked up 25 points from 15 matches to sit sixth in the Serie A table, two points above seventh-placed Cruzeiro, who have a game in hand.

Meanwhile, Bahia continue to struggle for results on the road as they fell to a 2-0 loss against high-flying Palmeiras at the weekend.

Rogério Ceni’s side have now gone five consecutive away matches without a win, losing three and claiming two draws since the start of June.

With 27 points from 15 matches, Bahia are currently fifth in the Serie A standings, level on points with fourth-placed Sao Paulo.
