Betting on Sport Club Internacional
Internacional currently ranks 14th in the standings with seven points, thanks to two wins, one draw, and four losses. In seven games, the team has scored five goals, while conceding 11.
Last weekend, it suffered a tough defeat against Gremio in a new edition of the Clásico Gaúcho derby. In fact, Internacional lost 3-1 as the visiting team, a result that was hard to believe for a team that had 72% ball possession, attempted 24 shots on goal, and hit the target four times. However, Gremio was more efficient, attempting 14 shots, and hitting the target six times.
Moreover, Internacional failed to capitalize on set pieces, as it had seven corners in its favor, while conceding three. Undoubtedly, this is a team that lacks effectiveness in scoring goals.
To make matters worse, it will face Bahia somewhat tired, as the team played against Metropolitanos in Venezuela during the week, for the Copa Libertadores Group B. Currently, Internacional is in third place, two points behind the group leaders, Independiente de Medellín from Colombia, and Nacional from Uruguay.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Keiller; Romulo, Rodrigo Moledo, Gabriel Mercado, Thauan Lara dos Santos; Johny, Gustavo Campanharo; Mauricio, Alan Patrick, Pedro Henrique; Luiz Adriano.
Betting on Esporte Clube Bahia
Bahia, on the other hand, is currently tied with Internacional at 7 points, but it is ranked 13th due to its better goal difference (-3, thanks to 9 goals scored, and 12 conceded).
Last weekend, the team faced Goiás and drew 1-1 with a goal from Everaldo. It was a close match, with the home team having 51% possession of the ball and attempting 23 shots on goal, of which 4 were on target (Goiás attempted 13 shots, and hit 5 on target). Besides, Bahia committed many fouls (19), and conceded six corners, while having four in its favor.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Marcos Felipe; Gabriel Xavier, David Duarte, Vitor Hugo, Vitor Jacaré; Cauly Oliveira Souza, Thaciano, Ryan Carlos Santos de Sousa, Ademir Santos; Everaldo, Gabriel Teixeira.
JefeBet Prediction
Internacional vs Bahia are evenly matched, but even though Internacional has better players, it struggles to score goals, which is something that Bahia finds a bit easier. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe it will be a clear draw, and if you check out DraftKings, that line will pay you $260 if you decide to bet $100. Do you see an opportunity here?
Prediction: Tie (INT 1 – BAH 1).
