Internacional vs Athletico-PR Prediction: Inter hasn't won in 11 games

Internacional can't find a way to win and is only one place above the relegation zone. Although the Porto Alegre side has five games in hand due to the climate tragedy in Rio Grande do Sul, a run of eleven games without a win is concerning.

The Colorado was close to finally breaking its winless streak in the last round, but a goal conceded in the 88th minute allowed Palmeiras to level the score. It would have been very motivating to beat the Brazilian champion, but the late draw probably took even more confidence out of the players. The Gaúchos have two consecutive home games left to get that much-needed win. In the midweek, Inter will face rival Juventude in a Round 6 match, but first, Roger Machado's men will be looking to beat Athletico Paranense, a side that has improved in recent games.

The Hurricane won both legs of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16 against Bragantino. The Paranaenses still have an open door to the Copa Libertadores, as the winner of the cup goes straight to the group stage of the most important South American competition. In the Brasileirão, Athletico lost 2-0 at home to Grêmio, an opponent that usually does well in Curitiba. Martín Varini's team is in eighth place in the table and will be looking to pick up a point against Internacional, taking advantage of the pressure the Gaúchos have been under.

Inter hasn't won in 11 matches, and confidence is low at the moment despite the recent change of coach. The Gaúchos are in 16th place, but oddly, they have five games in hand. Athletico Paranaense is in 8th place and has won four of its last five games considering all competitions. It's a tricky game to predict, as both teams are inconsistent. Just remember that they both beat champion Palmeiras away from home. I'm betting on a game with a maximum of two goals scored. It's a way of leaving all three possible outcomes open as long as there are few goals.
