Athletico-PR has been going through a good moment in the competitions they are playing and here in the Copa do Brasil they want that too. The team eliminated Avaí in the previous phase and now they want to also beat Atlético-GO. As much as they respect Goiás, it is extremely important that they impose themselves and control the match.
