Athletico-PR seek Copa do Brasil comeback, winless at Corinthians for 15 years | OneFootball

The mission of Athletico-PR in the Copa do Brasil is very complicated. After losing the first leg at home to Corinthians by 1-0, the Furacão will need to beat Timão at the Neo Química Arena in the return match. However, the team from Paraná has not beaten the Alvinegro away from home for over 15 years.

The last away win for Athletico-PR against Corinthians was on October 3, 2009, when they defeated Timão at Pacaembu by 3-1 in the Brasileirão. Furacão scored their goals with Paulo Baier, Wallyson, and Wesley. Jucilei scored for Timão.

Home Dominance

Since then, with Corinthians as the home team, the sides have faced each other 14 times, with seven wins for Timão and seven draws. In the last meeting between the teams in São Paulo, the Alvinegro beat Athletico-PR 5-2 in the Brasileirão, which ended with Furacão relegated to Série B.

In the overall record between the teams, Corinthians also has the advantage. In 64 matches in history, Timão has won 25, along with 22 draws and 17 victories for Athletico-PR.
