Athletico face Sport to avoid their biggest losing streak in 16 years at Brasileirão. Athletico come from five straight defeats and are now in danger of equaling the six consecutive defeats in 2005. Besides that, they must also try to come back into the G-6 zone in order to guarantee a place in Copa Liberatores 2022.

In 2005, Athletico - which prioritized the Libertadores - started at the Brasileirão with defeats by Ponte Preta, Juventude, Santos, Corinthians, Internacional and Botafogo. But Athletico reached the Copa Libertadores’ Final and reacted in Brasileirão, finishing at sixth place.

The five defeats now take place in the middle of a marathon that, in addition to the Brasileirão, also involves three other competitions: Quarterfinals of Copa do Brasil, Semifinals of Copa Sudamericana and Semifinals of Campeonato Paranaense.

António Oliveira, coach of Athletico said: “Now we have to come back quickly (to win) because, regardless of being in all competitions, we don't give up on the Brazilian Championship. So, I assume the fifth defeat, but we have to quickly reverse the situation.”

Sport Recife are in the relegation zone and new coach Florentín has just arrived. Key players like Thyerre (centre back), Everaldo (winger), Thiago Lopes (offensive milfielder) are out for injuries. I don’t see them getting anything on the artificial turf of Athletico.

Let’s back Athletico Paranaense.

巴拉纳竞技迎战累西腓体育，将尽力避免他们在巴西联赛16年来的最大连败次数。巴竞技刚刚经历了5连败，本轮输球就会追平2005年的6连败。 除此之外，他们还必须努力回到前六区域，以保证2022年解放者杯的参赛资格。

2005年，以解放者杯为优先的巴竞技在巴西联赛开始阶段被庞普雷塔、尤文图德、桑托斯、科林蒂安、巴西国际和博塔弗戈击败。但当年巴竞技进入了解放者杯决赛，并在巴西联赛反弹，最终排名第六。

现在的5连败发生马拉松赛程中，除了巴西联赛，巴竞技还参加了其他3项比赛：巴西杯四分之一决赛，南球杯半决赛和巴拉那州锦标赛半决赛。

巴竞技主教练安东尼奥-奥利维拉说，"现在我们必须迅速重启（获胜），因为尽管我们全线挺进，我们不会放弃联赛。因此，我承担五连败的责任，但我们必须迅速扭转局面。"

累西腓体育处于降级区，新教练弗洛伦蒂诺刚刚到任。 主要球员如蒂埃雷（中后卫）、埃弗拉多（边锋）、蒂亚戈-洛佩斯（进攻中场）都因伤缺席。 我不认为他们会在竞技场的人造草皮上得到什么。

让我们支持巴拉纳竞技。
