Cianorte and Athletico-PR face each other on the night of this Wednesday, January 31, 2024, starting at 8 pm, in a game valid for the 4th round of the Paranaense Championship.

Cianorte

After an overwhelming start to the championship, winning the first three rounds without conceding a single goal, the Cianorte team will have to show resilience this week, to find their way back to victory after an unexpected setback against PSTC in the last round.

On that occasion, the team played away from home and got the worst of it, losing 2-1 amid a very questionable performance from their squad.

Before that, the team had defeated Operário by the minimum score of 1-0 and hopes to recover the defensive solidity shown in the initial rounds to be able to face the powerful Athletico-PR.

In the 5 most recent duels played, there were 4 wins, no draws and only 1 defeat. During this period they beat Operário, Londrina, São Joseense and also Galo Maringá, in addition to losing to PSTC.

At the moment, the club is in second place on the Paraná elite league table, with 9 points achieved so far, only one less than the leader.

Playing as home team, the Cianorte team recorded a recent performance with 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats in the last 10 matches played.

Athletico-PR

On the other side is Athletico-PR, which in turn is among the national elite and has a squad that is technically much more qualified than most in the championship, but has accumulated some stumbles that have cost it precious points so far.

However, Rubro-negro remains undefeated in the tournament and arrives very motivated to be able to surprise away from home, just as they did in the opening round against Andraus, 2-0.

In their most recent duel, the “Furacão” also showed quality by beating Galo Maringá 2-1 in front of their fans, winning again after two consecutive draws in this period.

In the last 5 official matches played this season, there were 2 wins, 2 draws and only 1 defeat. During this period they beat Galo Maringá and Andraus, drew with Maringá and also with Azuriz, in addition to losing to Cuiabá.

Currently, the red-black club is in fourth place on the Paraná elite league table, with 8 points achieved so far, two less than Coritiba, which leads the competition alone at the moment.

Playing away from home, the Athletico-PR team recorded a recent campaign with only 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats in the last 10 matches played in this condition.

Conclusion:

By putting face to face two teams that appear in the G-4 of the tournament and could even take the lead in case of victory, a duel of good technical level is expected between Cianorte and Athletico, who tend to play a match with many goals over the 90 minutes.
