WLWWWL

Atletico PR won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 2-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Grêmio.

In that match, Atletico PR managed 52% possession and 4 shots on goal with 0 on target. For their opponents, Gremio had 14 attempts at goal with 7 on target. Franco Cristaldo (19') and Yeferson Soteldo (51') scored for Grêmio.

Atletico PR have been offensively very strong recently, lashing 18 goals past the opposition during the course of the last 6 outings. In those games, Atletico PR have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 5. Previous results aside, we will just have to wait and see if that trend shall continue on in this next game.

Taking a look at their past results, Atletico PR:

• are unbeaten in the league by Internacional in their last 2 games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 16 league matches at home. So impressive.

Internacional

WWDDWW 📈

Internacional will come into the encounter after a 0-1 Serie A win with the defeat of Palmeiras in their last match.

In that game, Internacional managed 32% possession and 5 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Internacional was Wesley (45'). On the other side, Palmeiras got 17 shots at goal with 2 on target.

A sequence of accomplished displays by the Internacional defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 2 from their previous 6 clashes in total. Over that same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 9.

Their prior results show that Internacional:

• have not beaten Atletico PR when they've played them away from home in the last 8 league games. Very poor away form.
• are undefeated in their last 3 league matches away from home.

📋 Team News: Atletico PR

The Atletico PR boss Cuca Stival will be happy not to have any fitness worries at all ahead of this clash owing to a completely healthy squad ready to go.

It looks as if Furação should opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Bento, Leonardo Godoy, Kaique Rocha, Thiago Heleno, Lucas Esquivel, Erick Carvalho, Fernandinho, Agustín Canobbio, Bruno Zapelli, Tomás Cuello and Pablo.

🗞️ Team News: Internacional

Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, there’s just the sole fitness worry for the Internacional boss Eduardo Coudet to be concerned about. Ivan (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be in action.

We believe Colorado will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Sergio Rochet, Fabricio Bustos, Vitão, Robert Renan, Rene, Bruno Henrique, Romulo, Wesley, Mauricio, Wanderson and Rafael Borre.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Internacional could find themselves struggling to see themselves scoring against this Atletico PR outfit who we reckon should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We’ve gone for a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Atletico PR at the end of this one.

Should be an interesting one.
