Corinthians vs Internacional Prediction - Brazil Serie A Fixtures

The Brasileirão reaches the final third of the season and South American expert Nathan Joyes provides his Corinthians vs Internacional prediction, team news, lineups and fixtures preview.

Corinthians remain in the relegation zone with just ten games to go, although the addition of Memphis Depay should keep them competitive in their hunt for survival.

Internacional continue to make giant strides towards their top six target, having defeated Vitoria 3-1 last weekend to extend their unbeaten run to eight matches.

Corinthians vs Internacional Prediction 1: Goalfest anticipated

Brazil, Brazil Serie A, Saturday, October 5th, 23:00 (UK)

Corinthians flirted with relegation last season but were able to pull themselves away from the dog fight in the final rounds. However, this time, it doesn’t look as though they will be doing so quite as easily.

They may have reached the semi-finals of the Sudamericana, but back-to-back league defeats, including two sending offs against Sao Paulo, shows there’s lots to be concerned about defensively.

What is guaranteed when Corinthians take to the field is goals. Their last eight matches have seen over 2.5 goals land, whether home or away, and they’ve scored in all of those, despite the outcome of the match.

Internacional, on the other hand, have been flawless as they look to finish in the top six and return to the Copa Libertadores. Unbeaten in eight, having won six of those, their last six games have produced over 2.5 goals.

In fact, Inter have scored at least twice in all of their last six matches. If ever there is a game to stay up for on Saturday night, it’s definitely this clash.

Corinthians vs Internacional Prediction 2: Both teams to fire

With over 2.5 goals massively overpriced, it makes sense to back both teams to score – which, in my opinion, has also been priced entirely wrong from the bookmakers.

These two sides are highly capable of scoring goals and consistently for the last few weeks – and although Corinthians are in the relegation zone, at home is where they’ve done most of their best work.

Not only did they beat Flamengo, but they’ve also beaten Juventude, Atletico GO and Fortaleza by scoring three goals. The addition of Memphis Depay, who is in line to make his first start on Saturday, will only strengthen their claim to get on the scoresheet.

But keeping Inter quiet is almost impossible at the moment. Whether home or away, they are scoring for fun, beating teams at both ends of the table rather comfortably.

Since their 0-0 draw against Cruzeiro, who are chasing a top six spot, Inter have beaten both Sao Paulo and Juventude 3-1 on the road, as well as sharing an emphatic 2-2 draw with Bragantino on their travels.

This sell-out fixture could spark into life with an early goal, and I’m left scratching my head at both teams to score at odds-against.

Corinthians vs Internacional Prediction 3: Paraguayan to pack a punch

All eyes will be on Memphis Depay but it’s impossible to ignore Angel Romero’s current form. The 32-year-old forward has scored five goals in his last seven appearances, including three goals in Corinthians’ last two home matches.

Yuri Alberto is always the bookmakers favourite when Corinthians play, but the 23-year-old hasn’t ever lived up to his hype, and Romero has come into the fold – and appears to be the club’s potential saviour.

Depay is likely to start, but operating in a wider role, his role looks to be more assisting where possible, as we saw against Fortaleza when the Dutch international set up Pedro Henrique.

With Corinthians looking dangerous at home, and on the front foot wherever possible, the squad looks confident they can get themselves out of trouble. Internacional will be wary of Depay, and that might just open up space for their powerful forward to find the net once more.
