This is going to be an immensely tense occasion for Internacional and their supporters. They are one of the biggest clubs in Brazil but find themselves in real danger of dropping out of the top flight. They are 3 points shy of safety with only 2 games to go, so this game is an absolute ‘must win’.
Their problem all season has been scoring goals though so it’s hard to see any way they are going to win this with any ease. They’ve scored just 0.92 goals per game on average and 69% of their league games this term have produced under 2.5 goals. They’ve gone 7 matches without a win now in all competitions so they don’t exactly come into the game in good form but they are at least generally tough to beat at home. They don’t concede many goals at the Estádio José Pinheiro Borda and have conceded just 0.83 goals per game at home on average, so most things point towards this being another low-scoring game.
Cruzeiro come into the match unbeaten in 4 and their recent away games certainly back up the theory that we won’t see much goalmouth action here. Their last 5 games on the road have produced just 3 goals in total with three 1-0 scorelines and two 0-0’s. There have been under 2.5 goals in 67% of Cruzeiro away games this season and their matches on the road average just 2.28 goals per game in total. They are still battling it out to secure a place in the Copa Sudamericana next term so there is no danger of them coming here and keeling over and as a result, it should be a close game.
Head To Head
Cruzeiro have won 4 of the last 6 meetings including a 4-2 win when the sides met earlier in the season.
