Guarany de Bagé vs Internacional – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 31/01/2024

Guarany de Bagé will host the Internacional team on Wednesday night, and this round could have some important consequences at the top and bottom of the table.

Guarany de Bagé

This is a clash between the extremes of the Campeonato Gaúcho, as the last placed team hosts the leader of the competition, and Guarany is looking for its first victory of the season.

The team, from the second state division, seems to be returning to its place of origin and has 2 defeats and a draw.

However, it still has a short distance to the zone’s exit door, as it has a single point below Brasil de Pelotas, in tenth place.

But what they have presented so far raises a big warning sign, as the team has a lot of defensive difficulties.

The only game they didn’t lose was in the last round, when they achieved an important draw against Santa Cruz, with a score of 1-1.

After a very truncated game and strong marking, Guarany managed to take the advantage with Michel, in the 87th minute of the game, but in the 95th minute they conceded the equalizer.

Before that, away from home, they were beaten 4-0 by Juventude in the mountains of Rio Grande do Sul, and in their debut they lost to Ypiranga 2-1.

The confrontation against Juventude can be taken into consideration, as they now face another powerhouse of Rio Grande do Sul football.

Guarany was unable to withstand the home team and before the break they were already losing 2-0. It is a team that will play with low lines, even playing at home, and perhaps the pitch and the strong heat can be allies to make Inter have a lower rotation.

Internacional

Inter, in turn, leads the competition with 7 points, having 2 wins and a draw, and today is one point ahead of Juventude and Grêmio.

But Grêmio and Juventude meet in Porto Alegre in the same round, and if Inter don’t win this match, they are likely to lose their lead.

The Colorado team won the 2 times they played at home, when they fielded their starters. They started with some difficulty when facing Avenida, in their debut, but won by one to zero.

A game where the lack of better physical preparation counted for a lot, but in the last round the team, already with greater comfort on the field, managed to beat Ypiranga 3-0.

The only game they didn’t win was in the second round, when they made their debut away from home and were held to a goalless draw against São Luiz.

On that occasion, Inter went with its reserve team, created little, suffered from pressure from the home team and were heavily criticized.

Eduardo Coudet can make some changes, but given the importance of the round, where Inter could lose the lead, I believe that a starting base can take the field against Guarany.

Bookmakers place very low odds on Inter, and due to the fact that the Argentine coach can rotate his squad, I believe that a very stretched line could be somewhat dangerous.

Conclusion:

I also understand that Inter could be the favorite, even due to Guarany’s terrible campaign, but I’ll choose the goal line as my betting option.
