In the early hours of Monday (GMT), Internacional and Juventude meet at the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borda in the Brazilian top-flight, as both teams look to push up the Serie A table.
The pair will be looking to kick-start their Serie A campaign with a win after unconvincing league campaigns so far in the Brazilian top-flight.
Fora de casa, Inter empata sem gols na abertura das oitavas de final da @LibertadoresBR. Com o resultado, Clube do Povo precisa da vitória, na próxima quinta, para avançar às quartas do continente. 🔥🇦🇹📷📝 Confira crônica e imagens da partida: https://t.co/oTGr2cL3QQ pic.twitter.com/uRPDfs7WkK— Sport Club Internacional (@SCInternacional) July 16, 2021

Internacional are just four points clear of the relegation zone, but on the flip-side are also just three points from the Copa Sudamericana spots too.
The home sides chances of moving up the table have been hampered of late by a five-game winless run in the Brazilian top-flight.
There hasn’t been much in their recent league matches, as four of their last five Serie A games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Poor home form has been a cause of their current position, as they have failed to win in their previous seven league matches on home soil. Internacional have also struggled for clean sheets at home in the Brazilian top-flight, keeping just one clean sheet in their last ten matches.
Juventude like their hosts have experienced an underwhelming Serie A campaign so far, as they are just two points and places above their opponents in the table.
The visitors head into this clash on the back of a three-game winless run, including two defeats. Last time out they at least ended a mini two-game losing streak in Serie A with a 1-1 draw against Atletico Goianiense.
Juventude have struggled for results on their travels of late, winning just one of their last ten away games in the Brazilian top-flight.
Their recent away games in the league have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four matches on the road.
With little between these two in the table, it is of little surprise that Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low-scoring draw.
