Cuiabá vs Internacional Prediction: Can Cuiabá finally pick up its first points?

In last place with zero points and zero goals scored in four games, Cuiabá is in a tricky situation in the Brasileirão. The Mato-Grossenses have two games in hand, but their weak performances in the Série A concern their fans. The pressure on the team is mounting, and if victories in the league don't come quickly, the players' confidence will drop even further. This game with Internacional could determine Cuiabá's near future. 

The Golden Dorado beat Lanús in Argentina 1-0 to finish the Copa Sudamericana group stage in second place with 12 points without suffering any defeats. This performance reflects the quality of Brazilian teams in South American competitions. The last-placed team in the Brasileirão easily qualified for the knockout stage. Isidro Pitta scored Cuiabá's goal in the 51st minute after the Argentinians had missed several chances. The victory could restore some confidence to the Mato Grosso do Sul side after the elimination from the Copa do Brasil by Goiás.

The Colorado side lost 2-1 to Belgrano to move into third place in the Copa Sudamericana's Group C. The Gaúchos hadn't played for a month and failed to overcome the Argentinians. The match took place at the Arena Barueri in São Paulo due to the impossibility of using the Beira-Rio, damaged by the floods in Porto Alegre. Projections suggest that it will take three months until the majestic stadium can host Brasileirão matches. In the Série A, Internacional is in 10th place with seven points from four games. The team got off to a good start in the league, but the task has become more tricky with all these constraints. A victory in Cuiabá would be an excellent result for Inter.

The victory in Argentina against Lanús may have been the result Cuiabá needed to gain confidence. The Mato-Grossenses have zero points and will give everything to get their first win in the league. Internacional isn't an easy opponent, but the period without playing seems to have harmed the team's momentum. The Gaúchos lost at home to Belgrano on their return to the competition. I'm betting on a Double Chance for Cuiabá with a maximum of four goals scored in the game.
