Internacional vs Fortaleza Prediction & Betting Tips (12 September)

Winning away games was something that Fortaleza did regularly towards the back end of last season, with the eventual runners-up securing five victories in their final eight trips. Internacional, by way of contrast, ran into plenty of difficulties on their own patch, suffering four defeats in seven top-flight fixtures, so they have little reason for optimism ahead of this clash.

Internacional are rarely involved in top-flight thrillers, with nine of their previous ten matches, including seven in a row of late, serving up no more than a couple of successful strikes. Given that this has also been the case in five consecutive Fortaleza away games at this level, anyone expecting fireworks at Internacional stadium is set to be disappointed.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 10 top-flight fixtures involving Internacional, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Fortaleza are concerned, as 10 of their previous 12 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
