Cuiabá – the shape of the team and its analysis:
"The Golds" had a successful season last year, finishing in 12th place. This position is relatively high for a "yo-yo" club. Additionally, this result allowed them to participate in the Copa Sudamericana, where they finished second in their group. However, they were eliminated early in the playoffs by Palestino, following a 1-1 draw in Chile and a loss at home.
Domestically, their results have been less impressive. They were knocked out of the cup by Goiás on penalties back in May. In the league, they had a disastrous start, losing five matches and failing to score in six. Even after an optimistic June with three wins in four games, they only managed a 2-1 win against Bahia, with the other matches ending in draws.
Atlético Paranaense – the shape of the team and its analysis:
"The Hurricane" also played in this season's Copa Sudamericana, entering as the eighth team from Brazil last year. This tournament has been favorable for them, having won the title twice recently. However, in the current cycle, despite four wins, they lost the top spot in their group to Sportivo Ameliano. Consequently, they had to play a playoff in July against Cerro Porteño, securing a win at home after an away draw to continue their campaign.
Atlético Paranaense started well in this season’s Serie A, winning five of their first eight matches. But their performance dipped significantly afterward, with draws and a surge in losses, making victories scarce. Recently, they lost to both Bahia and Red Bull Bragantino, although they did manage to knock out Ipiranga in the cup.
