Athletico Paranaense will on Saturday entertain Atletico Mineiro in Round 22 of the Brazilian Serie A. The two teams are separated by three points in the standings with seventh-placed Athletico having the edge over Atletico in ninth. Athletico Paranaense have racked up 33 points from their 21 matches. They have won nine times with a further six ending in draws. Athletico have battled with inconsistency in recent outings. This form has left them with only one win in their last seven games. The Red and Black however have proven to be difficult to beat and arrive here with a three-match unbeaten record. They have drawn their last two matches after defeating Cuiaba 2-0 at home. Last time out Wesley Carvalho's charges battled with 10 men to draw 2-2 with Fluminense at home.

Atletico have won the last two matches against Athletico. The latest was a 2-1 success at home in the group stages of this year's Copa Libertadores. They will hope for the same result in their quest for a top-six finish. Atletico have amassed 30 points thanks to eight wins and six draws and sit five points adrift of the Copa Libertadores places. Luiz Felipe Scolari's charges have struggled with inconsistency and have won only three of their last 15 games. A positive note though is that those three victories have come in their last five outings. The Galo bounced back from a 1-0 loss away to Vasco da Gama with a 2-0 win over Santos last time out.
