Tuesday night's first-leg clash between Maringa and Atletico Mineiro in the third round of the Brazilian Cup is shaping up to be an exciting encounter.
Maringa ran out comfortable 4:2 winners in the second round, while the visitors beat Manaus 4:1 to progress to this stage.
The hosts are unbeaten since 15 February when they were humiliated 3:1 by Operario in the group stage of the Campeonato Paranense. Jorge Castilho's men reacted brilliantly, enjoying an 11-match unbeaten run in all competitions and also reached the Campeonato Paranense final during that time.
Atletico Mineiro have also been hard to beat in recent weeks. The visitors suffered just one defeat in their eight games in April, while also keeping four clean sheets. However, head coach Cuca will be worried by the fact that they managed just two wins in that period, none of which came in their last two games.
Maringa FC vs Atletico MG Betting Tips: Draw & Both teams to score
The hosts may be underdogs going into Tuesday's clash, but they can't be written off when it comes to scoring goals at this ground. Jorge Castilho's men have scored at least once in each of their last nine home games and suffered just one defeat in that time.
Atletico Mineiro are struggling defensively at the moment, with Cuca's men keeping just one clean sheet in their last five outings. The Roosters managed just one win in that spell, with their last two matches ending in a draw, so it won’t be a surprise if Tuesday’s game ends on level terms.

Atletico MG team news
Atletico Mineiro head coach Cuca is expected to make at least one defensive change to the side that failed to keep a clean sheet for the second consecutive game against Mirassol last weekend.
Having been taken off 15 minutes into the second half last time out, centre-back Rômulo is among those likely to be relegated to the bench on Tuesday.
Cadu, Brahian Palacios, Júnior Santos, Guilherme Arana and Gabriel Menino are all ruled out of Tuesday's game due to their respective injury problems.
