Internacional RS vs Cruzeiro
Internacional is just a bit more qualified as a Copa America finalist this year. They only need a draw when challenged Cruzeiro in the semifinal second leg that aired Thursday (5/09), live from Estadio Beira Rio.
The first game was held early last month with a victory for Internacional. The only goal was scored by Edenilson in the 76th minute, while only 12 of the hosts kicked on target and failed to score.
Internacional still competed until Sunday (1/9) in the league competition, and returned to winning 3-2 against Botafogo RJ. They opened the scoring first through the action of Rodrigo Lindoso (44 ‘), while the visitors could only score their second before disbanding by Marcinho (90 + 5’).
Meanwhile, Cruzeiro only appeared the next day against Vasco da Gama. They have to wait until the 80th minute to watch Mauricio’s goal and keep the lead until time runs out. Thanks to this victory, Cruzeiro was separated from the red zone with a difference of two points in the order of 16, while Internacional was ranked 6 to 16 yesterday yesterday.
The defeat in the first game makes Cruzeiro have to work extra hard because they have to win with a minimum score of 0-2 to qualify. If you read the notes at Beira Rio, that ambition is quite impossible because they have never won during the last three visits, each with a score of 1-0, 0-0, and 3-1.
For Internacional, the party of Botafogo RJ made them increasingly motivated because now they have never lost in 6 home games, exactly 3 wins and 3 draws. With this climate, it will be difficult not to seek victory again in tomorrow’s match.
Our Prediction: NO
Odds: 1.61
