Paraná Ponte Preta betting prediction

This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 17 conceded. In their last match, for the Paulista A1, they got an away loss against Guarani by (3‑2). In the last 10 away matches Ponte Preta has won 2, tied 2 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 21 of the last 49 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 31 out of 49 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Ponte Preta has the best attack of the competition with eleven goals scored in six games and midfielder João Paulo is the highlight of the team, with five goals. In the last game he scored twice and secured the victory against the last qualified, Sampaio Corrêa. The team is already among the first in Serie B and promises to be a difficult opponent for Paraná inside Durival de Brito Stadium. If they present the good football of the previous matches they can win Curitiba.

Confirmed Lineup: Ivan, Apodi, Luizão, Alisson, João Paulo, Luis Oyama, Guilherme Lazaroni, Neto Moura, G. Nunes Rodrigues, Matheus Peixoto, Moises.
