Why Bet on Athletico Paranaense?
Atletico Paranaense had a positive start to their season when they scored four goals and got a clean sheet in their match against Cuiaba. However, that was followed by Grêmio getting the best of them in their next game on a 2 – 0 score.
In the international tournament, the Copa Sudamericana in their case, they have been implacable, destroying Sportivo Ameliano from Paraguay and Rayo Zuliano from Venezuela, scoring ten goals in the process and receiving only one.
Now, in this next match, they will be locals, hoping that their fans play in their favor against a team that seems unstoppable in Série A, accumulating six wins in a row considering this season and the past one.
Why Bet on Internacional?
Internacional started their season by taking a 2-1 victory over Bahia. It was a fought match where they started losing, although it’s true that they got the comeback pretty fast. However, their most remarkable feat was getting the best of the defending champions, Palmeiras, at the Allianz Parque.
A solitary goal by Wesley was enough to seal the deal in a match where Colorado played a low block and surrendered the possession of the ball with just 39%. Nevertheless, they only allowed the Verdão to shoot three times on target.
The history is different for the international tournament. They feature in the Copa Sudamericana as their next rivals but have been incapable of winning or even scoring a goal, getting two 0-0 draws. The most worrying was the most recent one against Real Tomayapo, considering how Bolivian teams tend to perform as visitors.
Betting Analysis: Athletico Paranaense vs. Internacional
Even though the betting odds are pointing towards the hosts having the upper hand in this clash, there is something that doesn’t sell us on that idea.
We believe that Internacional’s strong start is not just a little streak, and they are coming strong for this season. Now, as they face Athletico Paranaense, they won’t be going back home without points.
Maybe Athletico PR is strong at home, but we believe this match will end in a 0-0 draw.
Go for a draw at 3.4. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $240 for a total payout of $340.
