Remo v Athletico Paranaense: survival fight meets Libertadores push | OneFootball

Remo host Athletico Paranaense in the Brasileirão on Sunday, 24 May 2026 at Estádio Estadual Jornalista Edgar Augusto Proença in Belém, with the hosts chasing safety and the visitors looking to consolidate a Copa Libertadores place.

These clubs split last season's league meetings, each winning 2-1 at home in Série B. Remo need points to climb out of the relegation places, while Athletico Paranaense arrive in the top five.

Leão Azul have found a spark, beating Botafogo and Chapecoense and drawing with Palmeiras in their last three league games. Athletico-PR, by contrast, have been far less convincing on the road this season, collecting only four away points.

Remo are without forwards Gabriel Bill and Eduardo Melo, plus defenders Thalisson and Kayky Almeida and midfielder Freitas. For the visitors, midfielder Luiz Gustavo and defender Carlos Terán are sidelined, along with forwards Julimar and Renan Viana.

This could hinge on whether Furacão can raise their away threat. They have scored only five league goals on their travels, while Leão Azul have conceded 27 overall across the campaign. If the hosts keep things tight and build on recent momentum, transitions may suit them. Athletico-PR will likely aim to control territory and limit counter-attacks.

Remo sit 18th on 15 points and a win would significantly aid their bid to escape the drop zone. Athletico Paranaense have 24 points in fifth and victory would strengthen their Libertadores standing and keep them in touch with the leading pack.
