Atletico Paranaense welcomes Palmeiras to the Arena da Baixada for this first leg match in this Copa Libertadores semi-final. The home team needed a goal in injury time of their second leg match against Estudiantes in the quarter final while the visitors also scraped through to the semi-finals after they beat Atletico-MG 6-5 penalties after the tie was deadlocked 2-2 after the second leg. Atletico Paranaense are currently in fifth place in the Brazilian Serie A and this competition represents their best chance of silverware as they trail the league leaders by 11 points. They were also knocked out of the Copa Do Brasil quarter finals by Flamengo. Atletico Paranaense have failed to win in their last four matches across all competitions with two draws and two losses. Their home record though is very impressive as they have only lost once in their last 17 matches.

Palmeiras are flying high in the Brazilian Serie A as they lead the table with 50 points which is seven ahead of the second placed team. They will be looking to transfer their league form into this competition as they have only lost twice all season in 24 league matches. Palmeiras drew both legs of their quarter final but will be hoping to win this match and make their second leg tie an easier affair. They are unbeaten in their last 13 matches across all competitions with seven wins and six draws. Palmeiras have been equally impressive on the road and are unbeaten in their last eight away matches.
