Internacional meets Avai in round 7 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, June 3rd at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda (Porto Alegre)
In the early hours of Monday morning, Internacional will defend a 100% home result in Serie A. The Reds want to gain a 4th victory at their native Beira-Rio, after 2:1 over Flamengo, 3:1 over Cruzeiro and 2:0 over CSA Maceio.
The away results of the Colorados are poor by now (0-1-2), but the coach Hellmann had to sacrifice the regular squad in the very first round after a trip to Lima, where Inter guaranteed their progress from the first line of the group to the Libertadores playoffs. After losing to Chapeco, the Reds lost to Palmeiras, but after that, there is an unbeaten streak of six games (4-2-0), including the cup matches. Moreover, Inter allowed only 2 goals during this portion.

Hellmann's team finishes a saturated segment, which included two victorious confrontations with Paysandu. Inter advanced to the 1/4 of Brazilian Cup, and before the break for Copa America, it should improve the standings in Brasileiro. Of course, the Reds were wasting their strength in Belen, but they are ready to continue the invective sequence of their streak. The Reds will say goodbye to the forward Guerrero, who was called to the Peruvian national team. On the other hand, we will see the return of D’ Alessandro, who didn’t play in the last two matches. You can argue about reducing the overall attacking effectiveness of the Reds, but only because the team of Hellmann will have to attack the bus of the fresher team.
Avai made a comeback to the elite by right or wrong, but once again, it faces serious quality problems. It is very difficult for the team from Santa Catarina to compete in the elite division, and it just has to fight for the preservation of residence. For now, Avai takes the penultimate place with 3 points. Even at home, the Lions of the Island didn’t manage to gain any victory: only parities with Gremio (1:1) and CSA (0:0). The Lions scratched out another point from the worst Vasco da Gama (1:1) but lost in the away matches with Atletico Mineiro (2:1) and Bahia (1:0). In the last home game, Geninho’s team was again disappointed: Ressacada saw the defeat of Avai to Ceara (1:2). I do not know when the Lions will manage to gain the first victory, but I am sure that this will not happen in the 7th round and not in Porto Alegre.
The thing that distinguishes Avai from failed Vasco is a more reliable defense (the total score of all the rounds played is 4:7). Considering the opportunity to score an organized defense of the Reds is doubly difficult, because the striker Brenner, which is on loan from Inter, will not appear on the pitch. The contract does not allow the forward to play against his native team. Matias will compete with Amorim for a vacant position, but both are worse than the leased player is.
Prediction for the match: Internacional to win and Under 3.5 goals scored
