Betting on Internacional
Internacional had a tough debut in the 2023 Copa Libertadores as it had to fiercely fight to secure a draw against Independiente Medellin in Colombia. It was not until the 86th minute that Alan Patrick scored a crucial goal that evened the score.
Now, facing Metropolitanos, the team’s fanbase is hoping Internacional will manage to pull a resounding victory that allows it to gain some room to breathe in Group B, which promises to be highly competitive. The team cannot afford to drop points against the weakest team in the group.
Mauricio, Luiz Adriano, Gabriel Mercado, Mario Fernandes, Fabricio Bustos, and Charles Aranguiz are all affected by injuries and will be assessed until the last minute to determine whether they will be able to play or not.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Keiller; Fabricio Bustos, Vitão, Gabriel Mercado, Thauan Lara; Baralhas, Carlos de Pena, Maurício, Alan Patrick, Wanderson; Luiz Adriano.
Betting on Metropolitanos
Metropolitanos seemed to be on the path to gain a point in its first-ever Copa Libertadores match, but a goal from Francisco Ginella at the 91st minute crushed the team’s dreams and gave the victory to the Uruguayans.
After that bitter result, Metropolitanos managed to win two matches in a row in the Venezuelan tournament against Carabobo and Estudiantes de Mérida. At least, the team arrives to this challenging match in Brazil with a good feeling.
It is expected that Metropolitanos will finish last in this group, and that is something the team could use to its advantage, it can play each game without any pressure or stress.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Giancarlo Schiavone; Jefre Vargas, Andrés Ferro, Néstor Cova, Edwin Lazso; Carlos Cermeño, Christian Camarillo, Jhon Marchán, Darwin Gómez; Charlis Ortiz, Freddy Vargas.
JefeBet Prediction
This will be the first time in history that these teams will face each other, and it is expected that Internacional will win by a landslide against a Metropolitanos team that does not have the arguments to withstand what is coming their way.
Prediction: Asian Internacional Handicap (INT 3-0 MET)
