📰 Team News: Internacional

Victor Gabriel (Inner ankle ligament tear), Ricardo Mathias (Hamstring injury), Alexandro Bernabei (Hamstring injury), Bruno Gomes (Cruciate ligament tear), Johan Carbonero (Hamstring injury), Sergio Rochet (Broken hand), Enner Valencia (Hamstring injury), Gabriel Mercado (Cruciate ligament tear) and Lucca Drummond (Cruciate ligament injury) are not available for Internacional gaffer Roger Machado.

In our view, Colorado look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time, utilising Anthoni, Braian Aguirre, Vitão, Juninho, Ramon, Bruno Henrique, Fernando, Vitinho, Alan Patrick, Wesley and Rafael Borre.

ℹ️ Team News: Fluminense

Fluminense boss Renato Portaluppi has multiple availability issues to deal with. Germán Cano (Knee injury), Facundo Bernal (Hamstring injury), Agustín Canobbio (Skull fracture) and Otávio (Achilles tendon rupture) miss out here.

We reckon that Tricolor will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Fabio, Guga, Thiago Silva, Juan Pablo Freytes, Gabriel Fuentes, Martinelli, Hercules, Jhon Arias, Ganso, Kevin Serna and Everaldo.

💭 Prediction

In our view, Fluminense have enough to get a goal against this Internacional outfit, although that might not be as many as they’ll concede.

We think that it’s going to be a narrow 2-1 win for Internacional when the full-time whistle blows. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
