The fourth round of the 2020 Brasileirao season pits Internacional against Atletico GO at the Estadio José Pinheiro Borda. Third in the table, Internacional enjoyed a good start to the season, winning their opening two matches, before succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Fluminense. Atletico GO, seventh in the table, had a delayed start to the season after their opener against Corinthians was postponed. They have remained unbeaten in the two matches since then, beating Flamengo 3-0 before Sport Recife held them to a 1-1 draw. This will be their first away match of the Brasileirao season. They come up against an Internacional team fronted by the leading scorer of the season thus far, Paolo Guerrero. The Peruvian striker has three goals to his name, scoring once in each of Internacional's Brasileirao fixtures up until this point. Atletico also have a potent goal threat in Jorginho, the playmaker with two goals to his name. He is supported by Ferrareis, the attacking midfielder tied at the top of the assist charts with two. 

In terms of head-to-head records between the teams, Atletico won the last meeting 3-1 but have failed to win on their last three visits to Internacional. The most recent away game they have played at Internacional ended with them losing 4-1. Three of the last six matches between the teams ended level. While the last six meetings haven't featured a sending off, Atletico have been contesting fierce matches of late and their last three games featured at least one player being dismissed. Internacional have been strong at home for some time, winning ten of their last twelve matches. The two matches they didn't win were both against the same opponent, Gremio. We anticipate that they will bounce back from their recent away day troubles. Back both teams to score in what should end up as an Internacional win.
