Athletico-PR vs Fluminense Prediction: This game is crucial for both clubs

Athletico-PR and Fluminense are the teams closest to the relegation zone, and a negative resu𝕴lt in the upcoming match will complicate their situation. Athletico is in 15🍒th place with 41 points, while Fluminense is one place below with 39 points. In 17th, inside the relegation zone, is Criciúma with 38 points. The moment is dramatic, and this game could be decisive.

The Hurricane has improved considerably and is without a loss in the past three rounds. Athletico was in the Z4, but if two wins and a draw didn't put the team in a comfortable position, at least the results boosted its confidence. In its last game, the Curit🐻iba club drew 1-1 away to Bahia, but the result was d🃏isappointing as the home side scored in the 93rd minute. Nikão opened the scoring for Athletico in the 62nd minute, but the Paranaenses couldn't maintain their lead.

The Tricolor das Laranjeiras is losing heart, and its fans are worried about a possible relegation. Fluminense drew 0-0 at home to Criciúma, the team just below it in the table, and missed the chance to move away from the relegation zone. The Cariocas haven't won for five matches and urgently need points. It would be vital not to lose to Athletico-PR and then beat relegated Cuiabá in the following round. ওIn the season's final game, Mano Menezes' team will face Palmeiras away from home.

This game is like a final, as both teams are close to the cliff and don't want to fall into the relegation zone so near the end of the competition. The Paranaenses are in better form than Fluminense, having not lost in three matches. Fluminense failed to beat direct oppo💧nent Criciúma at home and is under heavy pressure after five g🔥ames without a win. Fluminense's last victory was precisely against Athletico-PR in a postponed Round 17 match played in October. I'm betting on a draw.
