Athletico is ready for a crucial week at home, where each game is a battle for the rise to the G4 of Brasileirão. After a slip in the last round, Hurricane currently ranks fifth on the table, determined to recover ground. With duels scored at the Ligga Arena against the Crisis and Flamengo, the paranaense team seeks to reaffirm its prominent position in the national championship.
The first "married" challenge takes place on Thursday (13), at 20h, against the Crisis. Athletico is aware of the importance of securing a victory before an opponent positioned at the bottom of the table. The Tiger, currently in the 16th position, comes from a capuchin defeat at home for the Cuiabá.
Then on Sunday (16), at 16h, Hurricane faces the Flamengo, the undisputed leader of Brasileirão. Despite the foreseeable difficulties, a victory over the Cariocas could represent a significant affirmation in the fight for the title, something that the Athletico already boasted only two rounds ago.
Athletic Ready for the Fifa Post-Data Challenge
The break period in Brasileirão due to Data Fifa offers Athletico a valuable opportunity to prepare properly. With ten days between his last match and his next commitment, Coach Cuca is focused on correcting recent failures. Hurricane comes from a series of three games without wins, including two home defeats, a situation that Cuca seeks to reverse.
The last time Athletico suffered two consecutive home losses was in 2021, almost a thousand days ago. Therefore, the team is determined to react in their domains. And to strengthen your ranks, Fernandinho's return, absent in the last two games, is welcome news. The steering wheel is already available for the confrontation against the CrisisAfter participating in a practice game last Friday during the break.
