At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

Atletico Paranaense (all games): 5W 3D 2L across 10 Serie A outings this term — 1.80 points per game. Last five: L D W L W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 0.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.80 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. This season is still relatively young for Atletico Paranaense, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Atletico Paranaense's away record: 4W 1D 5L from 10 road trips in Serie A this season (1.30 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 1.30 is notably below their overall 1.80 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.60 PPG for Atletico-MG against 1.80 for Atletico Paranaense. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
