Internacional hosts Palmeiras in round 8 of Brazilian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, July 1st at Estádio José Pinheiro Borda (Porto Alegre)
Internacional is in 13th place in the standings after seven rounds (nine points scored). The men of Diego Aguirre have two victories, three draws, and two defeats. They finished second in the last Serie A championship, but the start of the new season was unsuccessful. People's Club first alternated victories with defeats and gained stability in the results in the last three rounds. This is how long its unbeaten streak lasts (one victory and two draws). On June 28, Internacional lost points in an away match against one of the outsiders, America Mineiro (1-1). The hosts were ahead after the first half due to a goal from Ribamar, but the Reds saved the draw through the efforts of Rodrigo Durado, who was assisted by Edenilson.

Palmeiras is in 3rd position in the championship standings (13 points after seven matches). The Green-Whites chalked up four victories, one draw, and two losses. Palmeiras are one of the best home teams in the championship. Ferreira's players scored ten points in four home games, but they did not look so menacing away. The club suffered both defeats in the away matches. In the last round, the Green-Whites snatched victory from their neighbors in the standings, the players of Bahia Salvador (3-2). The game began with a quick goal from Palmeiras (Gustavo Scarpa scored), but the visitors almost immediately equalized after Luis Otavio’s shot. Towards the end of the 2nd half, Bahia took the lead through the efforts of Maicon. Palmeiras turned the tide in the 89th minute when Rafael Veiga regained the balance. And three minutes later, Breno scored the winning goal.
The teams' chances are almost equal. Internacional has not lost to Palmeiras in three consecutive championship matches (one victory and two draws), although now the Reds are regularly losing points. Palmeiras have a better squad on their side, but their recent away results are not encouraging. The history of last head-to-head matches indicates that the opponents will not score a large number of goals. In the last eight games in Serie A and the Brazilian Cup, the opponents have never scored more than two goals, and the bet on "Both teams to score — yes" took place in only two matches. So, there is no reason to wait for a goal show.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
