Colorado gets a chance to sleep in the G-4, the Coxa, wants to break the bad sequence of five games without a win
Internacional and Coritiba face each other this Friday at Beira-Rio, in Beira Rio, in Porto Alegre, in the opening of the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match starts at 21:30 (Brasília time).
In fifth place, with 21 points, O Colorado seeks rehabilitation, after taking Botafogo 3 to 2 and seeing an end to the sequence of 16 unbeaten matches. The team will sleep in the G-4 with a draw.
Coxa, on the other hand, tries to break the uncomfortable mark of five games without a win, with three consecutive defeats – the two previous commitments ended in a draw. The alviverde team is still the worst visitor of the Brasileirão, with only two points conquered in six matches. Coritiba appears in 15th, with 15 points.
Mano Menezes will not have Mercado, Moisés and David suspended. Rodrigo Moledo, Thauan Lara and Alemão enter the vacancies, respectively. Pedro Henrique will replace Wanderson, who suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh. Taison will replace Alan Patrick, who had discomfort in his right thigh and is recovering from the flu.
On the Coritiban side, Gustavo Morínigo does not have left-back Diego Porfírio, right-back Warley and striker Adrián Martínez, all suspended. Guilherme Biro and Léo Gamalho should be the substitutes. Egidio and Clayton are the other options for the wing and attack, respectively. Midfielder Thonny Anderson, who was doubtful, had nothing serious in his ankle and started the game.
In the last 20 direct confrontations between the teams, Internacional won eight times, Coritiba fourth, in addition to eight draws.
Both teams score: not mainly betting on the home team’s positive attack, the most likely scenario is an open game, with a very high number of scoring opportunities for the home team. In this way, the goal prediction for Internacional and Coritiba will be one of the most sought after. The hosts have good attack production at home and have important names such as Edenílson, Taison and Alan Patrick.
Under 2.5 goals: as the game is played by Inter, the team must go for the win from the first moment. Certainly, the team’s attack is good, and the tendency is for few goals to be scored, towards the home team.
Internacional victory: finally, the moments of the two teams are different. Both come from defeat in the last round. However, Internacional’s good prediction of victory is ideal, as the hosts are experiencing a better moment, only with the defeat at home, in the last match.
