In the last direct match for this edition of the league, on 29-07-2018, Palmeiras won at home by (3 -0).

In his stadium, he did not win the last nine games he played at home, besides having suffered goals in these nine games. We believe that in this match, to play against the current leader of the Brazilian championship, the Parana will again have difficulties to sustain the opponent’s attack and will end up being once again defeated.
