The Brazilian Serie A continues this week and on Wednesday the 17th of November we have a meeting between Cuiabá Esporte and Internacional at the Arena Pantanal. The hosts begin the week in 13th place on 39 points while the visitors are in 7th place on 47 points.
Cuiabá Esporte come into the match having lost 3-2 at Corinthians on the weekend. Having fallen a goal behind after only 3 minutes, Cuiabá Esporte struck back in the 45th minute of the game only to find themselves 3-1 down 12 minutes later.
That result means Cuiabá Esporte have failed to win any of their last 3 Brazilian Serie A matches, losing their 2 last games.
In fact, Cuiabá Esporte have recorded just a single victory from their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions and they have won only 2 of their last 13 matches, which is a poor record.
However, home form in the league shows Cuiabá Esporte are undefeated in their last 4 games, beating Sport Recife and RB Bragantino plus picking up a point against São Paulo and Chapecoense.
Trends show Cuiabá Esporte have been good defensively when playing at home in recent matches and they have managed to keep a clean sheet in their last 4 home league games.
They have seen under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 5 Serie A matches on home soil.
Internacional make the trip to the Arena Pantanal having defeated Athletico Paranaense 2-1 at home on the weekend.
It was the away team who opened the scoring just before half time but Internacional responded quickly to equalise before the interval. The hosts came out strongly in the second half and scored the winning goal in the 65th minute.
That result means Internacional have won only 2 of their last 7 Serie A fixtures and they have been losing touch with the top four. Both of the victories came at home and Internacional have been struggling to win matches on the road, failing to pick up a victory in their last 5 away trips.
Internacional have lost 4 of their last 5 away league games, including each of their last 3 at Palmeiras, São Paulo and Juventude. Trends show Internacional have seen under 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 away Serie A fixtures.
Team news and Cuiabá Esporte have 3 players unavailable, with the trio of Elton, Auremir, and Yesus Cabrera currently on the treatment table.
Internacional are without Yuri Alberto, who is suspended. Taison, Daniel, Vinicius Mello, and Rodrigo Moledo are injured.
This is going to be a close game as Cuiabá Esporte have been in poor form and Internacional are having difficulties away from home. Both teams have seen limited goals when playing home and away respectively of late and this one could end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
