📰 Team News: Internacional

We’re of the thinking that Colorado could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Anthoni, Bruno Gomes, Gabriel Mercado, Felix Torres, Alexandro Bernabei, Bruno Henrique, Rodrigo Villagra, Vitinho, Thiago Maia, Johan Carbonero and Alerrandro.

🔮 Prediction

We believe that Internacional will have to work hard as a team to score against this Botafogo lineup who we think should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 win for Botafogo when all is said and done.

Little in this one.
