Internacional vs América Mineiro Prediction: Bet on a confident win for the favorite

Round 16 of the Brazilian Serie A will end with a match between Internacional and América Mineiro. The future hosts are quoted as notable favorites, while it should be noted that América has a two-match winning streak.

It must be recalled that a week ago the Reds lost away to the Chileans with a score of 0-2 and in order to play in the quarterfinals, Colorado needed a victory of three goals or more, which was achieved. As for Inter, Alan Patrick, Edenilson, Alemão and Pedro Henrique were among the scorers. A strong and very powerful victory which makes the Reds the favorites to win Copa Sudamericana. Now they can concentrate on the Brazilian championship, where Inter are doing very well. Still, it could be better. Currently, the Reds are sixth in the standings with 25 points, and with a win they could even move up to third place, closing the gap to the leader by two points. The home stats for Colorado are 14th in the division, with 12 points on a 13-8, +3=3-1 goal difference.

First, América proved stronger than Botafogo in Copa do Brasil, 3-0. And after three days, América narrowly defeated Goias already in the national championship. Thanks to this victory the visitors left the relegation zone, climbing to 15th place in the standings. However, the gap from Ceara, the team from the bottom four only on goal difference.
