Atlético Goianiense vs Internacional
Stadium: Antônio Accioly
18.08.2024, 22:00
The situation of Atlético Goianiense is terrible, and if victories don't come quickly, the team will likely drop to the Série B. The Dragon is bottom of the table with just 12 points and hasn't won a home game in the Brasileirão, which is tragic. The Goianos haven't won in 13 league games since beating Fluminense at the Maracanã in Round 11.

Coach Umberto Louzer was appointed to replace Vagner Mancini, and the team seems to have improved a little defensively. Admittedly, the 1-0 defeat to São Paulo at the Morumbi wasn't a good result, but we saw a more organized Atlético. The Dragon now hosts Internacional, and the match will be a final, as all of them will be until the end of the league. Internacional isn't in great form either, and the Goianos must fight to the last drop of sweat to win.
Internacional
The Colorado team finally won, breaking a long run of 12 games without a victory. The Clássico Gaúcho with Juventude was very difficult, and the winning goal only came in the 81st minute. Gabriel, Juventude's goalkeeper, saved his second penalty, but the ball rebounded to Tabata, who didn't miss this time. Internacional had already missed from the spot through Enner Valencia in the first half, reflecting the insecurity of Inter's players. Internacional has climbed to 12th place with four games in hand and can still improve its ranking. This match in Goiânia is crucial for the recovery, but a defeat against the last-placed side could affect the Gauchos' confidence.
Expert Betting Tips
Atlético Goianiense is struggling in the league and is the strongest candidate to drop to the Série B. The Goianos are in last place with 12 points, haven't won in 13 games, and are still winless at home. The outlook is not brilliant for the match with Internacional, but the team must keep fighting. Inter isn't in a good moment either, but it just broke a long run of games without a win against Juventude, so the team has gained some confidence. I'm betting that Internacional will not lose with a maximum of three goals scored in the match.
