Fluminense vs Internacional Prediction: Fluminense has a new coach

Mano Menezes is Fluminense's new manager. Interim coach Marcão, who replaced Fernando Diniz, has only been in charge of the team for two matches, losing both. Menezes was the coach of the national team of Brazil between 2010 and 2012 and was appointed to save Fluminense from relegation. The Tricolor das Laranjeiras is in last place in the Brasileirão.

Fluminense

After the 1-0 loss to Grêmio with another mediocre performance, Fluminense's management had no choice but to speed up the signing of an experienced coach. The situation is critical, and a radical change is needed for the Cariocas to raise their confidence levels, which are at zero. Fluminense has just six points and only one victory in 13 games. The team has many deficiencies and needs to work on its physical condition, which is poor. Mano Menezes will try to improve the players' mental state at first, but it will be necessary to change the team strategy in the short term and possibly sign younger players. The match with Internacional is like a final, as will be every game from now on.

Internacional

The Colorado drew 1-1 at Criciúma and is in mid-table with 18 points but two games in hand. Inter led for a long time but conceded a goal in the 79th minute. The Catarinenses reacted well to Bruno Henrique's goal in the 40th minute. The next game is on the road, this time against Fluminense. The signing of Mano Menezes, who coached Internacional last season, is not good news for the Gaúchos. It's likely that the Cariocas will be more motivated with their new coach and will play with a new attitude.

Expert Betting Tips

It's uncertain how Fluminense will perform at the Maracanã under new coach Mano Menezes. Internacional has the best defense in the league, so it won't be easy for the Tricolor, which has not scored in its previous four games. The fans of Fluminense hope the new coach can give confidence to a team that has lost its last six games. A reaction against Inter is possible with the crowd in the stands supporting the team. I will bet on a Double Chance in favor of the Cariocas with a maximum of three goals scored.
