Internacional vs Clube Atletico Mineiro tips and predictions

Hosts expecting frustration

On 4 points Internacional are hosting Clube Atletico Mineiro, with 6 points. There's just 8 places separating the two sides.

This looks like one of those encounters where Clube Atletico Mineiro do just enough to get the job done and they're certain to face some resistance from this Internacional squad.

The hosts are looking to put some of their latest underpowered outings out of sight. Internacional's strikers haven't been firing on all cylinders. They've scored one or less goals in 9 of their last 10 games which no one will be calling exceptional. In defence Internacional's performances have shown some cause for concern. They conceded three or more goals in 2 of their last 3 matches which lends some additional evidence supporting the away win.

Clube Atletico Mineiro have secured the win in 6 of their last 7 away matches. They've scored three or more goals in 4 of their last 13 away fixtures and they'll want to add to that strike rate here. They've only conceded once during their latest 7 away games so that might also prove significant. If the away side is on form they should be the ones left smiling at full-time.

Ultimately, no one can be certain about what's lying ahead. The match could unfold into a battle of attrition with the two sides ultimately proving fairly even. It's not most exciting thing among today's previews No BTTS bet seems sensible.
