20.06.2024, 03:30
This match between two of the biggest clubs in Brazilian football will take place in Florianópolis, in the state of Santa Catarina. Inter keeps changing stadiums and cities to host its opponents while the Beira-Rio is undergoing repairs. This situation doesn't help the club, which is losing its home advantage. Its next game is against Corinthians, a side poorly ranked but always hard to beat.

The Gaúchos were surprised by Vitória in their last game. The Baianos, who are bottom of the table, got their first win with a goal from the penalty spot in the final seconds. A few minutes earlier, Internacional had scored the equalizer through Wesley. However, in a confusing move inside the area, Alario tried to clear the ball and kicked a Vitória player in the stomach. The VAR detected the foul, and Wagner Leonardo established the final 2-1. The Gaúchos dropped to tenth place but still have two games in hand. Coudet won't be able to count on several of his first-team regulars against Corinthians.
Corinthians
The Timão drew 2-2 at home to rival São Paulo in a crazy derby, especially in the first half. Corinthians managed to come from behind twice and at least avoided a disappointing defeat. The draw was ultimately a good result, as defender Caetano was sent off in the 77th minute, making António Oliveira's team's task even more difficult. Corinthians is dangerously close to the relegation zone and needs to win games. The Paulistas have only won one game so far, in the Brasileirão, against Fluminense in Round 4.
Expert Betting Tips
The fans aren't particularly impressed with their teams. Internacional started the league well but was hampered by the climatic disaster, forcing the team to play and train away from Porto Alegre. Corinthians, meanwhile, is struggling financially and doesn't have a squad of the standard required of a club of its stature. I will risk betting on a draw because I don't see Inter as a clear favorite. The Gaúchos have key players missing in attack, such as Valencia and Borré, and they don't have the advantage of playing in their stadium.
