Internacional are currently in a difficult situation and have been producing poor results. They are winless in five consecutive matches: four defeats and one draw. Moreover, the team have conceded in nine games in a row. In the domestic league, the team sit 16th and have 22 points from 21 matches this season. They are ahead of Gremio only on goal difference.

Prediction
The first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 is a responsible and very important match, so I do not expect it to be an open game. I am offering a bet on there not being too many goals and backing the under 2.5 goals market.
