*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Internacional picked up maximum points in their last two league games against struggling pair Corinthians and Gremio, and while Atletico Mineiro could pose a stiffer challenge, the in-form hosts look well placed to deliver the goods again at a starting price of 13/8.
Atletico MG lost two and drew one of their last three assignments and confidence in their camp could be at a low ebb as a consequence. We’ve recommended opposing the 19/10 underdogs for that reason, though you can find alternative predictions on our football betting tips page if this pick doesn’t quite suit your palate.
Last five H2Hs: History looks kinder on Atletico

Player to watch – Alan Patrick
Experienced campaigner Alan Patrick rolled back the years to play a key role in Internacional’s 1-0 win over Gremio last time out and the 33-year-old’s incisive forward passing was a major feature of the contest.
Patrick’s knowhow is a potent weapon
Veteran Alan Patrick has cobbled together just a few appearances for Internacional in Serie A so far this season, however, he showed that he still has plenty to offer with his passing masterclass against Gremio and the attacking midfielder could put his accurate distribution to good use again if he’s given the nod against Atletico Mineiro.
