Internacional host Athletico Paranaense in round five of the Brasileiro Serie A on Wednesday (May 10). Paulo Turra’s men have lost on their last three visits to the Estádio Jose Pinheiro Borda and will look to end this dry spell.
Internacional suffered their first defeat of the season on Sunday when they were beaten 2-0 by Sao Paulo at the Estadio Morumbi. Before that, Mano Menezes’ men were on an eight-game undefeated run, picking up four wins and as many draws since the start of April. Internacional are eighth in Serie A, but victory here will see them move level on ten points with second-placed Palmeiras.
Meanwhile, Athletico turned in a resolute team performance last time out, claiming a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Flamengo. Turra’s side have now won three of their last four games across competitions, including a 2-1 win over CRB in round three of the Copa do Brasil on April 26.

With six points from their opening ten games, Athletico are tenth in the league table, level on points with ninth-placed Bahia.
