Internacional vs Independiente Prediction
Internacional’s next and last group match will also be played at home. It will be against 9 de Octubre, who are rock bottom of Group E. They are seemingly not the toughest opposition. With six possible points in sight, Internacional are likely to give their all. On the other hand, Independiente will play host to leaders, Guairena – not a side to toy with. A favorable result from Tuesday’s game will be helpful in negotiating the match against Guairena.
Internacional are expected to win, but not easily, as the visitors are good fighters on the road. The hosts are determined to hold off on any challenge and pocket all three points on Tuesday.
Prediction: Internacional 2-0 Independiente
