Athletico Paranaense vs Sao Paulo Prediction and Betting Tips | July 3rd 2024

The action continues in round 14 of Brasileiro Serie A as Athletico Paranaense and Sao Paulo lock horns at the Arena da Baixada on Wednesday. Having failed to win both home and away meetings between the sides last season, Juliano Antonello’s men will head into the game looking to get one over visitors Sao Paulo.

Brazilian forward Julimar grabbed the headlines for Athletico Paranaense on Sunday as he scored deep into second half to hand them a narrow 1-0 victory over Vitoria at the Estádio Manoel Barradas.

This was a much-needed respite for Antonello’s side, who had failed to win their previous four games and were secured just one point from the last three matches away from home.

Next up for Paranaense is the stern challenge of taking on an opposing side they have failed to get the better of in seven of their last eight meetings, losing four and claiming three draws since August 2020.

Meanwhile, Sao Paulo continued their surge into the upper echelons of the league table as they picked up a 3-1 home win over Bahia at the weekend.

This came after a 2-1 victory over Criciuma on June 28 which saw their run of four consecutive games without a win come to an end.

With 21 points from 13 matches, Sao Paulo are currently sixth in the Serie A table, one point and one place behind Wednesday’s hosts. However, they could move to third-place ahead of Botafogo with a win on Wednesday.
