Round 12 of the Brasileiro Serie A gets underway on Saturday when Athletico Paranaense and Corinthians square off at the Estádio Joaquim Américo Guimarães.
The Rubro-Negro will be looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win the last eight meetings between the sides since November 2018.
Athletico Paranaense failed to return to winning ways as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sao Paulo on Wednesday.
This followed a thrilling 2-2 draw with America Mineiro at the Estádio Mineirão on June 11 which saw their three-match winning streak come to an end.
