Internacional are on a run of four straight draws in the league and will be looking to end that run this week. They are, however, undefeated in their last 11 games across all competitions and will fancy their chances of picking up a result on Monday.
Atletico Goianiense are on a three-game unbeaten run across all competitions and have lost just one of their last five. They are, however, winless on the road in the league this season and could lose here.
