Corinthians vs Internacional – Preview, Prediction And Betting Tips 02/12/2023

Prediction: Corinthians x Internacional

One of the biggest interstate rivalries in Brazil, this is Corinthians vs Internacional, which have already decided the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil titles and built a feeling of antagonism after the great controversies of 2005.

Timão and Colorado take the field this Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 6 pm Brasília time, at the Neo Química Arena. The game is valid for the 37th round of the 2023 Brazilian Series A Championship. Check out the complete analysis of the match and my prediction for Corinthians x Internacional for Brasileirão 2023.

In the last six games between them, we had six draws, with the last four results being the same: 2-2.

Corinthians has not lost to Inter since May 2018. In this period, they had ten games, with nine draws and one victory for Timão. Balance is strong in clashes between rivals.

Corinthians:

The comeback victory over Vasco, 4-2, was the team’s second consecutive away victory and practically ended Corinthians’ chances of relegation to Series B. With 47 points, the team needs a point in the next two games to guarantee permanence. Even if they lose this Saturday, they can continue if Vasco or Bahia don’t win in the round.

The game against Inter is the chance for a worthy farewell to the Neo Química Arena, as the last game as home team was terrible. Unrecognizable, Mano Menezes’ team was beaten 5-1 by Bahia. This was only the team’s second defeat at home in eighteen games. There are six wins, ten draws and two defeats for the team in Itaquera. The attack scored 25 goals and the defense conceded 21.

Corinthians’ overall campaign leaves them in thirteenth place with 47 points. There are eleven wins, fourteen draws and eleven defeats. The attack scored 44 goals and the defense conceded 46.

This game also marks the farewell of Fábio Santos. The 38-year-old left-back plays his last official match at the Neo Química Arena. He announced that he will retire at the end of the Brazilian Championship.

Mano will make at least two changes: Gil returns to defense in Caetano’s place, while Giovane replaces the suspended Yuri Alberto.

Probable Corinthians lineup: Cassio; Fagner, Gil, Lucas Veríssimo and Fábio Santos; Gabriel Moscardo, Maycon, Giuliano and Renato Augusto; Romero and Giovane.

International:

Colorado beat Cuiabá 2-0 in the last round and thus ended the possibility of relegation. The goal now is to confirm their place in the 2024 Copa Sudamericana.

With 49 points from 36 games, Inter is in tenth place in the Brasileirão Série A. There are thirteen wins, ten draws and thirteen defeats in the competition. The team has 41 goals scored and 43 goals conceded.

In the last four games, Inter have conceded just one goal and away from home the team has won three of the four most recent games.

Internacional’s probable lineup: Rochet; Bustos, Igor Gomes, Mercado and Renê; Johnny, Mauricio, Aránguiz and Wanderson; Alan Patrick and Valencia. Coach: Eduardo Coudet.

Prediction for Corinthians x Internacional

Huge rivalry and also a fierce confrontation between Mano Menezes and Inter. The coach left Colorado in the middle of the Brasileirão after a year at the club and has already made his regret at the situation clear a few times, this is yet another spice in the game.

This is a game where a draw is not a bad thing for either side and has a great chance of happening at Neo Química Arena. My recommended bet goes to the market above 1.5 goals, hoping that we will have a busy game in Itaquera.
