INTER'S FIRST SEMESTER: They had a modest performance at the Brazilian Cup and the Regional Gauchão, the club is in a deep financial crisis which has many details that could fill 15-20 pages easily on the matter. Inter has been more consistent than many had expected, however, some teams like Gremio rested players in occasions related to cup games.
Inter is recovering from a dramatic relegation which melted deeply their institutional peace amongst fans/dirigents and press in the crossfire too. We could saw that considering only the non-relegation goal they are doing well
Their capitain and old Attacking Midfielder D'Alessandro has been injured during the moments they have collected these points, which leads us onto..
WORLD CUP BREAK TEAM NEWS/UPDATES: There haven't been breaking news signings or departures. However some gossip about a fight between sub AM Camilo and the capitain, because of a rumoured affair with his wife or whatever, some "the sun cover" menace like that, has been subject of much stress from D'Alessandro, he even went to a police station to register a formal complaint against dozens of people, and the police agreed that he "had reasons" meaning fans of Gremio or whatever were abusing his family in the on-line world about the "matter".
He has also been complaining that "some people" don't want him back at the team after this winnings period, implying that he could somehow have been the cause of issues or that his return could jeopardize them, sth like that.
The "no news big news" scenario is far from this one, but we also don't have any solid issue. Inter has to be followed closely as the recent past suggest that they collapse fastly when under particular situations such as early goals of visitors at their home or other sources of pressure from fans.
In a nutshell, too many fragile things in their entire club/fans/press universe since their return.
PREDICTIONS AND ASIAN HANDICAP
I think they have collected a nice % of points so far and they'd really have to underperform and absolutely meltdown to relegate again, but they seem weak to sustain a dispute for the "direct group stage qualification spots" of Libertadores. IMO an indirect qualification could be a rather realistic goal.
I'm a big fan of In-Running bets in Brazil and Inter could offer value here, meaning that a few signs of immediate collapse could mean good AH value before a complete avalanche.
