Internacional vs Athletico Paranaense Prediction and Betting Tips | August 11th 2024

Internacional and Athletico Paranaense return to action in the Brasileiro Serie A when they square off at the Estádio José Pinheiro Borda on Sunday. Roger Machado’s men will be looking to get one over the visitors, having lost their last three meetings since a 2-0 win in November 2022.

Internacional failed to find their feet last weekend as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Palmeiras at the Estádio José Pinheiro Borda.

Machado’s men have now gone 11 consecutive games without a win across all competitions, losing five and claiming six draws since a 1-0 victory over Gremio on June 22.

This dire run of results has seen Internacional plunge into the danger zone as they currently sit 16th in the Serie A table, just one point above the relegation zone.

Athletico Paranaense, on the other hand, picked up a 3-2 second-leg victory over Red Bull Bragantino on Wednesday to secure a 5-2 aggregate victory over the Massa Bruta in their Copa do Brasil round-of-16 clash.

Martin Varini’s men now turn their attention to the Serie A, where they have lost all but one of their last four games, with a 2-1 victory over Cuiaba on July 28 being the exception.

With 28 points from 19 matches, Paranaense are currently eighth in the league standings, level on points with ninth-placed Atletico Mineiro.
