- Competition: Brasileiro Serie B
- Date: Wednesday, 15th, April 2025
- Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00.00 CEST
- Venue: Arena Pantanal (Cuiaba)
Atletico Paranaense will look to keep their perfect start to the Brasileiro Serie A season intact when they visit Cuiaba at Arena Pantanal in Wednesday’s late-night clash.
Having dropped out of the Brazilian top tier last season, Cuiaba have set their sights on bouncing back right away, and the early stages of their Serie B journey suggest they’re on the right track, after edging out Volta Redonda 1-0 and sharing the spoils in a lively 2-2 contest with Avai.
Among the four teams that lost their top-flight status last season was the Atletico Paranaense outfit, but the early stages of their life in Brazil’s Serie B suggest they are fully intent on making a swift return to Serie A, having secured the maximum six points from their opening two fixtures.
Cuiaba vs Atletico Paranaense Betting Tips : AH2 (0)
Last season in Brazil’s top flight, Atletico Paranaense completed a double over Cuiaba by dismantling them 4-0 at home before edging out a narrow 2-1 victory on the road, and we believe they have all the tools necessary to come out on top once again. Notably, the Hurricanes entered the season as frontrunners for a return to the top flight, and they’ve certainly justified that tag with a strong opening to their Serie B journey, so they’ll look to maintain their grip on first place while riding the momentum of an eight-match unbeaten streak on the road. Although they have a considerably weaker squad on paper compared to their matchday three opponents, Dourado have displayed a strong hunger to be among the promotion contenders by season’s end, but some careless defensive lapses have already cost them a perfect start as they twice squandered the lead in a 2-2 draw with Avai on matchday two, and if they repeat those backline errors against Atletico-PR, they could be in for a rough ride. It’s hard to make any solid predictions after just 180 minutes of action in the new season, but there are definitely enough signs to lean toward Atletico PR in Wednesday’s clash, and we believe they could grind out a hard-fought win to keep their perfect Serie A start alive.

Atletico Paranaense team news
Atletico Paranaense still can’t count on Julimar, who’s working his way back from a major knee injury and won’t feature in Wednesday’s fixture.
Argentine left-back Lucas Esquivel was named on the bench in matchday two after missing the season opener, so he could be in line for some minutes against Cuiaba.
