Athletico Paranaense Internacional betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the Copa do Brasil (Finals) after havinf played in the previous rounds against: Cruzeiro, Palmeiras and Paysandu. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 8 conceded. In their last match, for the Serie A, they got a home win against São Paulo by (1‑0). In the last 10 away matches Internacional has won 4 and lost 6. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 29 of the last 61 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 42 out of 61 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 7 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 8 of their 15 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Internacional have the dream of winning the second title in the competition, so they know that they need to play very carefully in this first confrontation, so they can leave the field with a good result. The visitors have the advantage of playing at home in the return game, so it is essential that they get at least a draw in this first match. Apparently, the International should mark strong and try to close the spaces of the home squad. The coach should not have major absences for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Marcelo Lomba, Uendel, Rodrigo Moledo, Víctor Cuesta, Bruno, Edenílson, Andres D'Alessandro, Patrick, Rodrigo Lindoso, Nico López, Paolo Guerrero.
Coach: E. Coudet.
