Inter receives Athletico in Beira-Rio this Saturday night. The match, valid for the 36th round of the Brasileirão, will be played at 21:00 (Brasilia time).
After seeing the end of their 13-match unbeaten run in the national team (with nine wins and four draws) with a 1-0 defeat to América-MG, Inter are looking for victory to maintain their second-place lead with ease. Colorado has 64 points, three more than Flamengo, Fluminense and Corinthians.
For later, Mano Menezes counts on the return of Gabriel Mercado to be Vitão’s partner in the defense. Edenilson, with a sprained right ankle, is out. Mauricio enters the creative sector. In charge of the attack, Alemão seeks to find the path of the nets after eight games.
