Internacional vs Atletico GO – Atletico Goianiense takes on Internacional on Monday at Estadio Beira-Rio in their eighth encounter of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, looking for their first road win of the season.
Colorado has won their last 11 games in all competitions, while Dragao is in danger of relegation, lying in 17th place, two points behind Cuiaba for top-flight survival.
Internacional has spent the last two domestic seasons at the middle of the table, and they are still there after seven games this season, tied for eighth place with 10 points in a four-way tie for eighth.
Mano Menezes will be pleased that his squad is still picking up points, despite the fact that the former Brazilian national team coach knows they might be far higher in the standings.
This season, Club do Povo has squandered four points from winning situations, points that could have matched them for first place with Corinthians.
Menezes has always preferred to play an aggressive, up-tempo style that relies on a dynamic number 10 playmaker, but it’s unclear who on this club can fill that role so far this season.
In 2022, they have only lost one match at home in all competitions, surrendering one goal or fewer in all but one of those games.
Following a fantastic 5-1 win against 9 de Octobre in their final Copa Sudamericana group stage encounter on Tuesday, they should be full of confidence moving into a challenging domestic stretch that includes Bragantino, Santos, and Flamengo.
Internacional vs Atletico GO – Betting Analysis
If there is one word to define Atletico Goianiense’s early troubles in this domestic campaign, consistency comes to mind. The club from Goiania has never lost more than one game in a row.
They had only one league victory after seven games, when they defeated Coritiba 2-0 a week ago with goals late in the first and second halves. In Brazil’s top division, a couple of losses may cost you your job, and Goianiense coach Umberto Louzer was fired after failing to win his first six domestic matches.
His expulsion appears to have offered this group more harmony and freedom, as they have gone undefeated in their previous three matches across all competitions.
And it appears that his second stay has re-energized a team that is capitalizing on its scoring opportunities, with three goals in their previous five shots on goal.
Cuiaba, his previous club, conceded the third-fewest goals in the Brazilian Serie A last season (37) in their maiden season in the top division, demonstrating his ability to turn clubs into stingy defensive units.
