Corinthians

DLDDDL ⚠

Corinthians will be looking for an improved result here following the 3-1 Serie A loss in their previous game against Fluminense.

In that game, Corinthians had 40% possession and 12 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Corinthians was Andre (89'). For their opponents, Fluminense got 20 shots at goal with 10 on target. Kennedy (20'), Hércules (45') and Rodrigo Castillo (83') scored for Fluminense.

Corinthians have really struggled up front in more recent games. Their sum of goals stands at just 4 against opposition teams during the course of their last 6 matches. In those meetings, Corinthians have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 5.

Pre-game facts show that Corinthians:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Internacional in their previous 3 games.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league matches.

Internacional

DLLWWD ⚖

In their previous fixture, Internacional drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with São Paulo.

In that game, Internacional managed 34% possession and 6 shots on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Internacional was Alerrandro (23'). At the other end, Sao Paulo got 15 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Jonathan Calleri (87') scored for São Paulo.

The numbers tell their own story, and Internacional have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 5 goals overall. Defensively, Internacional seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That sort of trend might not be carried forward here, however.

Heading into this contest, Internacional haven't won against Corinthians in games played away from home for the previous 2 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: Corinthians

Gui Negão (Hamstring injury), Kaio César (Thigh problems), Hugo (Knee surgery) and Memphis Depay (Hamstring injury) will not be able to play for Corinthians manager Dorival Júnior. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Matheus Bidu and Allan.

It’s our opinion that Timão will probably use a 4-3-1-2 system for the game and select Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, Fabrizio Angileri, André Carrillo, Raniele, André Luiz Santos, Breno Bidon, Jesse Lingard and Yuri Alberto.

🗞️ Team News: Internacional

There’s a good chance that Colorado will likely make use of a 3-5-2 formation, starting Sergio Rochet, Bruno Gomes, Gabriel Mercado, Victor Gabriel, Vitinho, Bruno Henrique, Rodrigo Villagra, Paulinho Paula, Matheus Bahia, Alerrandro and Johan Carbonero.

💭 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Internacional could find themselves struggling to be putting a goal past this Corinthians team who we think will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

That’s why our selection here is for a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 advantage for Corinthians at the end of the 90 minutes.

Expecting it to be tight.
