Fortaleza vs Internacional Predictions

Although Fortaleza are a team currently in good form, we think Internacional’s quality and being the current Serie A runners-up make them favourites. They also have more experienced and proven players.

If Internacional win, we don’t think it will be by a large margin, as following the statistics of goals conceded by Fortaleza, they show that they are a strong defensive team.
