Internacional vs Atletico GO Predictions

• Internacional are unbeaten in 11 games.
• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in seven of the hosts’ last nine games.
• Atletico Goianiense have seen under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last five matches.

Internacional look to extend fine run

Having gone unbeaten in 11 games, Internacional are just four points off the top of the league and looking to put their stamp on an incredibly tight Brazilian Serie A season when they host fourth-bottom outfit Atletico Goianiense. If recent games involving the two teams are anything to go by, a tense encounter should be anticipated, with goals expected to be at a premium.

Indeed, Mano Menezes’ hosts have seen under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine games, while their record of seven league goals conceded this term is the joint-fifth best such return in Serie A. Going forwards, however, Internacional have only scored the same amount, with only five teams scoring fewer.

The visitors are one of those outfits, scoring just five goals in their seven league games to date, winning one, with each of their last five games featuring under 2.5 goals. Goianiense won their last league contest, against Cortiba, but are yet to win an away Serie A game this season, scoring just a single goal in their three road trips and conceding seven.

Tight affair anticipated – with hosts having the edge

Given Internacional’s superb unbeaten run and the visitors’ failure to win on the road this season, backing the hosts looks the only sensible play – but adding under 2.5 match goals should bring added value, considering the tight nature of both teams’ games.

Atletico Goianiense have failed to score on two of their three road trips, so a 1-0 home win looks a decent correct score prediction.
