Internacional take on the visitors Atletico Mineiro in the round 20 match of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, July 31st at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda (Porto Alegre).
Internacional has been alternating good seasons with mediocre ones in recent years. The Colorados, who won the Copa Libertadores in 2006 and 2010, went through a kind of “cleansing” in the middle of the last decade, in the form of the need to spend the season in Serie B. Then the swing began: then the team rolled back to the 7th position, after which it became the vice-champion and, finally, collapsed to the 12th place. Now there is little progress. Wards of Mano Menezes continue to fight in the Copa Sudamericana, where they knocked out Colo-Colo in the 1/8 finals (4-1 at home after 0-2 in Chile), and in Serie A they won only 7 meetings out of 19, but with 30 points they are in 7th place. Now it is not possible to win three matches in a row.

Atletico Mineiro risks not defending the title due to their own instability. With the help of Hulk, who is experiencing another youth, it was able to take 1st place in the last season. The champion title was returned after a pause of exactly half a century. In the new cycle, it turns out to be not particularly stable. On the one hand, the struggle continues in the Cope Libertadores, knocking out the Ecuadorian Emelec in the 1/8 finals. On the other hand, even after winning at home against Flamengo, the club flew out of the cup, losing 0-2 on the road. Within Serie A, there were some rollercoasters, and there were definitely no less failures than successes. There was a good period recently, with 4 victories in 5 rounds. But after 1-1 with Cuiaba and 1-2 at home with Corinthians, the champion fell back to 4th place. This is despite the fact that Cook returned, the same coach that worked last year.
Atlético Mineiro are undefeated four times in a row in head-to-heads. Moreover, having drawn in 2020, then the team managed to win 3 times in a row. Including in April - home 2-0. The odds show that this will be a 3-way game. Both clubs do not win several times in a row. So we recommend betting on "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
