Athletico PR vs Caracas– In the Copa Libertadores 2022, Athletico Paranaense will host Caracas on the final day of action in Group B.
This group is wide open ahead of the Matchday No. 6 ties. Athletico Paranaense and Libertad are in a stronger position than The Strongest and Caracas, with Athletico Paranaense and Libertad sitting one point ahead of them in the group standings and playing on home soil on the last day.
It’s worth noting that Athletico Paranaense are heavy favorites to beat Venezuela on Thursday night at Arena do Baixada, despite having a substantially lower goal differential than them throughout the competition.
Nonetheless, there are very compelling reasons to believe that the hosts will win this match comprehensively.
Leaving aside the significant disparity in quality between Brazilian and Venezuelan teams, Athletico Parananese have improved dramatically when Luiz Felipe Scolari took over as coach.
Moving forward, Paranaense has won both of its home games in this Copa Libertadores season without surrendering a single goal.
Last but not least, Athletico Paranaense will enter this game having won five straight home games in all competitions, including a 2-1 triumph against Avai in Serie A over the weekend.
Caracas, on the other hand, has plummeted to seventh place in the Venezuelan Primera Division after a 1-0 loss to Zulia on Saturday.
In the reverse match between these two teams in early April on Venezuelan soil, there were no goals.
Athletico Paranaense and Caracas last played in the Copa Sudamericana’s last 16 round four years ago.
In two legs versus Caracas, the Brazilian team won both at home and away, scoring four goals and conceding one.
