Internacional take on the visitors Atletico Goianiense in the round 8 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 31th at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda (Porto Alegre).
International only three times became the champion of the country, and all this happened in the 70s of the last century. Yes, and the only cup of Brazil won exactly 30 years ago, in 1992. But at the same time, already in the 21st century, they managed to win the Copa Libertadores twice, and take the Copa Sudamericana and the Club World Cup once each. Yes, and recent years have been very different - and 2nd place, and stay in Serie B, however, only a year long spell. The Colorados had a mediocre last season, finishing on 12th position. This season they lost only once, in the very first game with the champion, Atlético Mineiro. But they have won only 2 matches so far, the rest of the matches ended in draws. The mediocre results in the domestic arena were compensated by the confident passage of the Copa Sudamericana. Having won there in the 6th round, the Brazilians took 1st place and advanced to the playoffs.

Atlético Goianens are example of a football "lift". They are strong by Serie B standards and has been regularly promoted there. But little worked out in the “elite”, and, for example, the previous time, in 2017, they spent at least 1 year there. The result of the last draw, 9th place, can be considered an incredible breakthrough. The best achievement of the "Dragon" at least in this century! This even allowed the club to go to the Copa Sudamericana. By drawing on the field of a competitor, LDU in Quito, they guaranteed themselves 1st place and a pass to the playoffs. At the same time, they could not stand the fight “on 2 fronts”, and they simply sank in the championship. Starting with a draw against Flamenco, then Atletico scored only 2 points in 5 matches and flew out of the cup, losing to Cuiaba. And only last week he was able to improve his position by confidently beating Curitiba at home, but they still remain in the relegation zone.
In this pair, Internacional have better head-to-head statistics. But for the past three times, Atlético Goianense have not lost, and in the last championship they even won on the road. Bookmakers consider Internacional to be the favorite of the pair. But the duel in any case is unlikely to be spectacular. We bet on "total under 2.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
