The Brasileiro Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Internacional and Atletico Mineiro square off at the Estádio Heriberto Hülse on Wednesday. The visitors head into the game without a win in their last three outings and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Internacional continued their surge into the upper echelons of the Serie A standings as they picked up a 1-0 victory over Gremio last Saturday.
Eduardo Coudet’s men have gone unbeaten in six of their last seven matches across all competitions, claiming five wins and one draw since the start of June.
Internacional, who have two games in hand, are currently seventh in the Serie A table and could move level on 20 points with fourth-placed Botafogo with a win on Wednesday.
Atletico Mineiro, on the other hand, failed to find their feet last Sunday as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw with Fortaleza at Arena MRV.
Gabriel Milito’s side have now failed to win three games on the trot, suffering consecutive defeats against Palmeiras and newly-promoted Vitoria before last weekend’s stalemate.
With 14 points from 10 matches, Atletico Mineiro are currently 10th in the Serie A standings, level on points with 11th-placed Fortaleza.
