Internacional and Cruzeiro meet on Wednesday, Jul 22 at 5:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Serie A. Just 2 points separate them in the standings.

Internacional come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Cruzeiro, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Internacional head into this on the back of a defeat, while Cruzeiro arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

History strongly favours Internacional here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Cruzeiro, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Internacional won 1–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Internacional a slight edge, but Cruzeiro are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
