Internacional hosts Fluminense in round 16 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, August 16th at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda (Porto Alegre)
Internacional looked good at least in Copa Libertadores. The Reds scored ten points in the group stage and took first place. And, perhaps, they had more reasons to claim success in the 1/8 finals than Olimpia Asuncion, whom the Brazilians beat both times in the spring, scoring seven goals. But in the two-legged confrontation, Internacional failed to score even once. At home, the goal was first canceled due to an offside position, and then Edenilson did not convert the penalty. As a result, Internacional lost on penalties. The results in the championship are not ideal too. However, a week ago the Reds managed to hammer Flamengo away (0-4). Did Diego Aguirre's charges finally wake up?

After a long stagnation, when Fluminense couldn’t rise above the 12th place for 5 years in a row, the club made a real breakthrough. In 2020, the Team of Warriors scored 64 points in Serie A and took 5th position. But it didn’t manage to stay at that level. Periodically, the club shows good segments, but they alternate with frank failures. As in July-August, when Roger Machado's charges began to lose: they have not been able to score points in three rounds in a row. Moreover, Fluminense lost to Gremio and America Mineiro, who are in the quartet of the weakest teams in the division. On the other hand, now the clear priority is given to Copa Libertadores. Having won the group first (and leaving behind River Plate), the Team of Warriors beat Cerro Porteno twice. And now they will play against Barcelona Guayaquil in the quarterfinals.
Internacional needs a victory. Besides, the team will be rested and will play at home. And it must use the load of Fluminense in Copa Libertadores. We are waiting for the victory of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Internacional to win
