Cuiaba vs Internacional Prediction

Cuaiba returned to winning ways in midweek. They are yet to open their account in the league this term, suffering four losses.

Internacional, meanwhile, have played just once in over a month and lost that game in midweek. They have just one loss in 11 away games across competitions, though.

Considering the form of both teams and their goalscoring record, a low-scoring draw could ensue.

Prediction: Cuiaba 1-1 Internacional
