🗞️ Team News: Goias

Goias boss Ney Franco will be thankful to have no fitness worries whatsoever coming into this game owing to a completely injury-free squad available to select from.

It’s our opinion that Verdão could go for a 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Tadeu Antonio Ferreira, Jefferson, David Duarte, Fábio Sanches, Juan Pintado, Sandro Raniere, Breno, Lucas Vinicius Gonçalves Silva, Daniel Bessa, Mike dos Santos Nenatarvicius and Rafael Moura.

📋 Team News: Internacional

From a largely available squad, there’s only the lone fitness issue for the Internacional manager Eduardo Coudet to be concerned with. Paolo Guerrero (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be in action.

We believe Colorado will likely begin the game with a 4-1-3-2 lineup, choosing Marcelo Lomba, Renzo Saravia, Víctor Cuesta, Zé Gabriel, Moisés, Andres D'Alessandro, Patrick, Roberto Pinheiro, Gabriel Boschilia, Thiago Galhardo and Abel Hernandez.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Goias could find themselves struggling to score goals against this Internacional side who we think should just have the edge.

We’re therefore tipping a 0-1 advantage for Internacional at the end of the match.

Let’s see.
