Internacional are on a great run of form and are unbeaten in five straight Serie A matches ahead of their round No 13 fixture against Cruzeiro.
Each of Internacional’s last three games in the Brazilian top flight ended in wins.
Cruzeiro are 12th in the standings after 12 matches. They took 17 points from the opening 12 matches, and go into the game against Internacional on a run of poor form.
The Foxes are coming off a 1-0 win over Sao Paulo. The victory ended a five-game winless streak in the division.
Cruzeiro took a mere five points from the last six fixtures. Only four goals were scored by Cruzeiro, and six conceded.
Cruzeiro have played well on the road this season. In five matches on the road, Cruzeiro have a record of 2W-2D-1L. The Foxes scored 11 goals and conceded five times.
Internacional picked up 13 points from their last 18 points on offer in the league. They scored nine goals and conceded six times. The Reds are playing well at home and have four wins from five fixtures.
The defence has played well in home fixtures, conceding just four times.
Internacional and Cruzeiro have not played since the 2019 season. The last match between them ended 1-1 to extend Inter’s unbeaten record over Cruzeiro.
Internacional went unbeaten in their last six games versus Cruzeiro, with three wins and three draws.
The Reds’ last three games in Serie A were all close. They won by a one-goal margin in each of those games. Round No 13 should see a close fixture between these rivals.
Cruzeiro defender Wesley Gasolina is expected to miss the game with an ankle injury. Defensive midfielder Richard is also expected to miss out after being granted special leave. Right-winger Rafael Bilu is recovering from an Achilles tendon rupture.
The Foxes are led in goals by the trio of Wesley, Bruno Rodrigues, and Gilberto. The three players have each tallied three goals.
Inter manager Mano Menezes has no fresh injury worries ahead of Cruzeiro’s arrival. New signing Wanderson leads the team in goals with three. Wanderson arrived from Russia’s Krasnodar in the offseason for €4.5 million.
Internacional are coming off a 3-1 win in the Copa Libertadores against Independiente Medellin. Luiz Adriano scored twice.
The Reds should post another win over Cruzeiro as they go seven matches unbeaten. The game should end 2-1 with Inter winning by a one-goal margin once more.
