The knockout stages of the 2022 Copa Sudamericana continue this week and will see Internacional host Colo Colo at the Estadio Beira-Rio on Tuesday in the second leg of their last 16 tie.
Internacional were beaten 2-0 in the first leg last week and will have it all to do in the return leg this week. They were far from their brilliant best, managing just one shot on target all game and will now be looking to put out a much better showing this week.
The hosts last won the continental showpiece in 2008 and have not come close since. They have a mountain to climb this week to keep their Copa Sudamericana ambitions alive.
Colo Colo picked up a clinical and well-deserved victory in the first leg via goals from Juan Martin Lucero and Pablo Solari in either half and are now in cruise control ahead of the second leg.
The Chilean club are seeking their first-ever Copa Sudamericana title and need to avoid defeat on Tuesday to advance to the quarterfinals.

Internacional vs Colo Colo Prediction
Internacional are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and have won just one of their last four games across all competitions. However, they have lost just one of their last 10 home games and will fancy their chances ahead of the midweek clash.
Colo Colo are undefeated in their last five games across all competitions. They have struggled to impress on the road of late but should be able to hold on to their lead with a stalemate.
Prediction: Internacional 1-1 Colo Colo
