📏 Form Guide

Internacional

WDWWLL

Internacional will be hoping for a better result following the 3-1 Serie A loss in their previous game against Red Bull Bragantino.

In that match, Internacional had 48% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Internacional was Braian Aguirre (79'). On the other side, Red Bull Bragantino got 18 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Santos (18'), Capixaba (45') and Volpi (52') scored for Red Bull Bragantino.

It has been seldom in recent times where Internacional have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Internacional have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals on the way.

Going into this contest, Internacional haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches at home.

Cruzeiro

WDDWWD 📈

In their last game, Cruzeiro drew 1-1 in the Serie A match with Fluminense.

In that game, Cruzeiro managed 61% possession and 19 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Cruzeiro was Pereira (75'). At the other end, Fluminense got 10 shots at goal with 5 on target. Kennedy (43') was the scorer for Fluminense.

A sequence of outstanding displays from the Cruzeiro defence has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their past 6 outings overall. Over that same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 10. Despite that, we must now wait to see whether the trend might be sustained in this next game.

Leading up to this clash, Cruzeiro:

• haven't beaten Internacional when they've played them away from home in the last 7 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 3 away league matches.

📰 Team News: Internacional

In all likelihood, Colorado look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Anthoni, Bruno Gomes, Gabriel Mercado, Victor Gabriel, Matheus Bahia, Rodrigo Villagra, Bruno Henrique, Vitinho, Alan Patrick, Johan Carbonero and Alerrandro.

📰 Team News: Cruzeiro

Cruzeiro manager Artur Jorge has multiple availability issues to deal with. Kauã Prates (Hamstring injury), Pedrão (Cruciate ligament surgery), Fabrizio Peralta (Cruciate ligament injury) and Cássio (Torn knee ligaments) are those who can’t be considered. Lucas Romero will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We reckon that Celeste might elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Otavio Costa, William, Fabrício Bruno, Jonathan Jesus, Gabriel Rojas, Matheus Henrique, Gerson, Marquinhos, Matheus Pereira, Luis Sinisterra and Kaio Jorge.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Cruzeiro should have enough to score a goal against this Internacional side, but that may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Our tip is for a narrow 2-1 win for Internacional when all is said and done. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
