The emotions of the 2023 Brasileirão season continue, and we reach the 13th matchday, where teams are fighting to position themselves among the top four in the standings.
The fight in all areas of the table is extremely fair, but it should also be noted that Botafogo does not seem to take its foot off the accelerator and wants to escape at the top.
Conversely, Coritiba is the only team in the Brasileirão that has not won three points in a match in the first 12 rounds of the season.

Why Bet on Cruzeiro?
Cruzeiro has played an irregular first part of the season. The team has not found a way to have a string of important victories to fight at the top of the general classification table.
However, due to the tightness of the table, a win in this match could put them in the fight, as they are currently in 12th place, with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses. They are only three points behind sixth place (Internacional) and six points behind second place (Gremio), so a winning streak could help them climb to the standings.
Cruzeiro enters this match after an excellent 1-0 win over Sao Paulo.
Why Bet on Internacional?
On the other hand, we have Internacional, a team that started the 2023 Brasileirão season with many doubts, but it seems they have found the formula that will lead them to victory. We say this because the team arrives at matchday 13 with a record of four wins and one draw in the last five games played.
As a result, they climbed to sixth place in the standings with a record of six wins, two draws, and four losses and are currently only three points behind Gremio in second place.
While Internacional is not a team that has shown good offensive ability in their games, it is worth noting that all of their victories are based on a virtually impenetrable defense. If the team can improve their attack from now on, they can be one of the favorites to fight for the four direct spots for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores de America.
Inter comes into this match having won its last three matches, the last one being against América-MG with a score of 2-1.
