America-MG vs Internacional Prediction: Can Internacional Regain their Lost Winning Form?

In the upcoming fixture of Copa do Brasil, Round of 16, Leg 1, America-MG will be up against Internacional at the Estádio Raimundo Sampaio. With the win predictor favoring the home side to win, the odds are likely to be very tricky. The two teams last played against each other in November 2022, and America-MG won 1-0. Moreover, in the last four matches played between the two, Internacional has won twice, whereas 2 matches have resulted in a draw. Hence, Internacional will also be walking in with a significant head-to-head advantage against America-MG. Continue reading to find out more about the upcoming matchup in Copa do Brasil.

With three defeats and two drawn fixtures in the last five matches played across all competitions, America-MG is struggling significantly. America-MG lost to Cruzeiro in the last home fixture, which was certainly a setback. With now limited teams active in Copa do Brasil’s round of 16, the matchups are likely to be of high standards and quality. America-MG hasn’t kept a clean sheet in the last 5 matches, which is why they have struggled and have allowed easy scoring from the other end. In the last two home matches, America-MG has allowed 6 goals and scored just 1. Hence, the hosts will need to minimize the attack on their goalpost from the visitors.

With the pressure of three consecutive defeats under the belt, Internacional is likely to feel the heat and pressure against America-MG as well. In the last five matches played across all competitions, Internacional has lost three, drawn, and won a fixture. In the last three defeats, Internacional has conceded 6 goals, averaging 2.00 goals per game. About the overall scoring, Internacional has scored just three goals and conceded 8 in the last five matches played, averaging 0.60 and 1.60 goals per match. With the likes of Wanderson, Zurawski, and Mauricio in the lineup, Internacional could upset the hosts. In the last 2 away matches, Internacional hasn’t scored; however, the upcoming matchup could give the visitors a chance to align their match form once again.

• Total Under 2.5 for 1.75
