TV channel and live stream options for Athletico Paranaense vs Palmeiras are listed below.
Athletico Paranaense host Palmeiras in a Serie A fixture that carries real weight at both ends of the table. Odair Hellmann's side sit third and will look to defend home ground against a Palmeiras outfit that has been one of the most consistent teams in Brazil this season.
Palmeiras arrive in outstanding form under Abel Ferreira. They have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 4-1 Serie A victory over Corinthians and a 1-2 Copa Libertadores win at Fluminense. That run places them firmly in the title conversation, and they show no signs of easing up.
Athlético Paranaense are no pushovers, though. Hellmann's side put four past Chapecoense in their most recent outing and have the attacking firepower to trouble any opponent. Their tendency to concede, however, could prove costly against a Palmeiras side with genuine ambitions on multiple fronts.
The backdrop to this fixture adds further intrigue. Palmeiras hammered Corinthians 4-1 in the league just days ago, a result that came after Corinthians appointed Clarence Seedorf as head coach in a bid to arrest a damaging run of poor form. The ripple effects of that result are still being felt across the division.
For Athletico, this is a chance to make a statement against a side chasing the title. A win would tighten the top of the table and demonstrate that Hellmann's team can compete with the very best. Palmeiras, meanwhile, will want to maintain the momentum that has made them such a formidable force in recent weeks.
