Internacional to Win
Although Internacional didn’t have a good previous season, which is why they are in Copa Sudamericana instead of Copa Libertadores as they are used to, they are still a much better team than 9 de Octubre.
In addition to this, 9 de Octubre is in pretty bad form at the moment since they are second-last in Ecuadorian league right now with five points from six games. So, we expect Internacional to win this game.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Rarely we see matches in South American continental competitions with many goals and even those that go over 2.5 total goals usually struggle to get there.
In addition to this, Internacional went over 2.5 total goals in just one of their last five games, while this happened in just two of the previous five matches played by 9 de Octubre. So, under 2.5 total goals sounds like a good bet for this game.
Both Teams to Score – No
Since we don’t expect to see many goals in this game, we also don’t see both teams scoring in this match. We actually expect the home team to fail to score, but this is a bit safer bet while the odds are still good.
9 de Octubre vs Internacional preview: A tough task for the home team
9 de Octubre
With just five points from the first six rounds of the new season in Ecuadorian league, 9 de Octubre is far from being in a good form. In fact, the team is currently only ahead of one team in the standings, so it’s safe to say that they have struggled so far. That being said, 9 de Octubre did manage to get to Copa Sudamericana group stages by eliminating Delfin in the qualifiers.
Internacional
Last season was not a great one for Internacional – they entered it as vice-champions of Brazil and they finished the season in the 12th place in Serie A, barely securing a spot in Copa Sudamericana. Internacional enters this game after a loss to Gremio in Campeonato Gaucho semi-finals, which is a bit disappointing since Gremio will play in Serie B this season.
