Team News

Athletico Paranaense
Ceara
  • It's one in, one out in midfield for Atlético-PR this weekend.
  • Bruno Guimarães is back, but Wellington now serves a suspension.
  • Tiago Nunes may rest some players ahead of the Copa Sul-Americana game against Fluminense.
  • Richardson is available after serving a ban against Paraná.
  • But winger Calyson is suspended after picking up his third booking of the season.
  • Felipe Azevedo and Ricardo Bueno look the most likely replacements.

Prediction

  • Ceará took another giant leap away from the relegation zone in midweek, beating Paraná, and father fate seems to be smiling on them again here.
  • Their opponents, Atlético-PR, have been in superb form at home, but their focus will be on the upcoming Copa Sul-Americana game with Fluminense.
  • That means they are likely to rotate heavily, so if ever there was a time to travel to the Arena da Baixada, this is it.
