The stats tell the story, and Juventude have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 12 goals in all. In defence, Juventude certainly have room for improvement. We shall soon find out whether or not that trend will be continued on here.

Their prior results show that Juventude:

• have not emerged victorious against Internacional in games played away from home for the previous 6 matches in the league. Not the best of away records.
• have not won away from home in their last 2 league matches.

📋 Team News: Internacional

Gabriel Mercado (Cruciate ligament tear), Sergio Rochet (Broken hand), Johan Carbonero (Hamstring injury), Bruno Gomes (Cruciate ligament tear) and Lucca Drummond (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be available for Internacional gaffer Roger Machado.

We think that Colorado will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, utilising Anthoni, Braian Aguirre, Vitão, Victor Gabriel, Alexandro Bernabei, Bruno Henrique, Fernando, Bruno Tabata, Alan Patrick, Wesley and Enner Valencia.

ℹ️ Team News: Juventude

Juventude boss Fábio Matias has a number of players out of action. Caíque Gonçalves (Cruciate ligament injury), Daniel Peixoto (Cruciate ligament injury) and Cipriano (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We reckon that Juve might utilise a 4-4-2 system, starting Gustavo, Ewerthon, Abner, Adriano Martins, Alan Ruschel, Jadson, Daniel Giraldo, Luis Mandaca, Jean Carlos, Emerson Batalla and Gilberto Oliveira.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that Internacional should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Juventude might well find it a difficult task to find the back of the net - but, we do see them converting at least once as well.

We’re predicting a decent 3-1 victory for Internacional by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
